HPA Question

[m-98]

Well I have had my Crossfire 68/45 for about 2 months now, and I've noticed that if I get it filled (to about 3k), about a week later the tank reads 0 psi. Is this normal? I'm new to Compressed Air, by the way.

The tanks reads Ok? what does that mean?

That is what I was thinking, but I just wanted to check so I don't make myself look like a fool. Of course I look like a fool here though.

i was in fantasy paintball the other day and some dude came in with the same problem, tim (one of the owners) said that its somthing about a steel tank that it leaks the air out, i dunno, my friend steely tank runs empty after about a week too

[FalconGuy016]

It has to be a leak, there is no doubt. But its just how it is leaking, maybe the pin isnt sealing all the way. Maybe a seal in the tank isnt working properly. You shoudl call or email crossfire, it could be a defective tank

That's where I got the tank, I'm probably going to have them look at it and if they have no idea I'll probably call Crossfire.

It may be your fill nipple try teflon taping it, or if that doesnt work, fill the tank and put a little bit of water and soap and see where it starts to bubble, to find where it is leaking from

yes i had the same problem back in the bad days when ii had a steel tank. But if it emptys in a week, who cares? After all, on a mag, with a 68 ci tank, youre gonna have to fill at least twice a day anyway.

twice a day? wha? I guess the fact that I go through a case and a half every day causes me to need almost 3-4 fills everytime I go out...and if it's free air I top off after every set of games..
