leek problum

[pbR2k2]

Hey everyone. I use CO2 right now (not for long, I really hate it). But anyways, when I screw in the tank, after a couple turns it starts leaking, then if a turn it about once more or so, the leaking stops. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen or not, but its just kinda annoying. If anyone knows wuts wrong and could give me some way to fix it, or if its supposed to happen, thanx for anything you can say


thanx

What do you mean, it leaks as you are screwing the tank in? If this is the case hold the trigger back while you are gassing up, and that will solve the problem.

Oh thanx alot man. yeah it was leaking when i was screwing in the tank. Holdin the trigger did help, thanx...

[pbR2k2]

Awwwww MAN!

Try a new tank o-ring and if that doesn't help try a new asa adapter. It could also be your tank, try a different tank and see this fixes your leak

Hmmm... Well i've tried like three or four tanks and they all did the same thing... I've tried new O-Rings and everything.... It's probly just the stupid ASA... Hmm... I just got an idea i'll see if it works be back in a bit

[pbR2k2]

Ah ha! I figured it out! The pin in the ASA was to long, and when i'd start to screw in the tank, it would let CO2 out of the bottle before the O-Ring could seal and have it pressurize the gun... Now i need to find a way to sand down or make the pin in the ASA a bit smaller so this won't happen... Thanx for all the help everyone

[nutz]

so it only leaks from the asa???

if it leaks from ne thing else, this is normal because the valve does not seal untill there is enuff pressure in it... to get that pressure u gotta screw ur tank in all the way


if this still bothers u get an asa with an on off

If it really bothers you, getting a new ASA is about the only thing you can do. BTW, if you screw the tank in fast, then it doesn't waste that much CO2. (I'm guessing about 10-20 shots worth)
