i put a four drops of oil in the tank connector and screwed in the tank. fired one shot and it just kept shooting out air. now when i connect the tank a bunch of air comes out the valve. now my tank is low on air and maybe doesnt have enough pressure to hole the valve correctly.

Where was it shooting air out? The back? The barrel area?

We need some more information.

it was coming out of the barrel area / gravity feed

Level 10 kit? Regular bolt? Air input pressure to the gun? What kind of tank?

no lvl 10 , regular emag bolt, valve
its a paintball wizard 68/3000 witha brand new bulldog regulator that was put on it fri.
i dont know the input pressure. but it happened when i put four drops of oil and fired the gun. was four drops too much? does the valve need to reseat?

Oil isn't going to make it do that...

Now, you have to explain this a little better. You gassed up, pulled the trigger and it fired one shot.

Did the bolt reset or did it stay open and gush air?
Does it leak when you pull and hold the trigger?

it stayed open and gushed air. then i disconnected the tank checked everything and put the gun back together and reconnected the tank. it still gushed air.

Bolt stick...

Check the orings in the powertube, and replace if necessary. If you have access to one, a spacer kit will help fix this.

Also, make sure the spring extends about 1/4 inch over the tip of the bolt. It could also be worn out.

Weak spring.. is the spring just barely past the end of the bolt, if it is not noticeably taller than the bolt I would condemn it.

no the spring seems to be fine it is 1/4" or so past the bolt.
