tank leaking from nipple!!! help?

[Jonno06]

hey, just went to get my pure energy 48/3000 filled at the local store and it was leaking out of the fill nipple like crazy.

dead-on paintball drop with on/off(first fill with new drop..if it matters?)


any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE:


for quite some time now there has been something in my tank making a 'ting-ting' sound whenever i moved it around. i just took of my fill nipple and moved the tank around, and a little brass set screw came out. it has a flathead groove on one side. anyone know where it goes??

also, the fill nipple o-ring was hanging half way out of the little screw in the fill nipple, so i replaced it, and put it all back together. im going to try to get it filled again now.

hopefully it works.

If you are at all cautious, or even scared that something in your tank is messing up go to your proshop and ask them, and if something is "minor" get it fixed anyway. The only real advice I can give you. So just ask the pro shop guy when he's about to fill it what you asked us

mine leaked for a while like that, all i had to do was replace the oring that was on that flathead screw (part of the fill nipple) and it worked again... at least it hasn't blown up on me yet...

Same. Replace or clean oring. You'll be leak free again.
