the last one i bought was under 2 months, which is why this is kinda troubling, but not really a big deal, at least its a 5 year

I consulted with our Engineering dept (Fatman) and this was his suggestion...



Kill a chicken and draw a large circle in the middle of the floor with its blood - be sure the use the blood as it is dripping out of the freshly killed carcase. Next the take some bat guano (that's sheit for you country boys) and draw a pentagram within the circle, with the points reaching to, but not crossing the circle. Next take five black candles and set them within the five points. In the inner area, put the charred head of a goat and then sprinkle ashes made from burning the hair of a virgin (no not YOU, a GIRL dumb-***!) around it. Finally place the tank and reg in the inner area with the goat's head and the ashes.

Now, light the candles, strip down naked, rub fresh garlic all over yourself, pee on the whole mess and jump up and down yelling "out evil spirits! out!" After several hours of this (try 10, just to be sure), if the tank has not returned to working condition - consider it a lost cause and sacrifice it by torching the whole place.

Thats what he said anyway... :D

I've seen people screw/unscrew tanks from their regs on maxflow's, I think there was an o-ring that held it on, not loctite.

That may sound remarkably like a maxflow bottomline/inline reg, but its not.. what I'm talking about is actual maxflow tanks.

I was told by a guy once that it was actually a no-no to use lock-tite on pressurized cylinders. Just screw it on tight and be a happy camper. (4500 psi does wonders to lock threads!)

Cliffo I am going to make a post just like you would......
MORON!
j/k
Just hand screw it on as tight as you can, the pressure in the tank will hold it on.

Far as I know the only cylinders that use lock tight are CO2 cylinders. When they are first assembled.

I was thinkin more so preset regulator tanks because they use loctite to the tanks.

My Maxflo came the same way. Just a little teflon tape and you're good

Yeah definitely just screw it on. Am I the only one who thought this was an obvious question? Yeah really though the only time you want to use loctite is with screw in tanks. I've had tanks unscrew from their regs when i was simply tyring to get them off the gun. Even then you shouldn't use to much because getting it off afterwords is a pain.
