    I recently got a used Armageddon air system off ebay and the pin valve on the bottle portion leeks air at 1000 psi or greater. It does not affect the functionality since it does not leek when attached to the regulator, but it makes it impossible to store the tank with air in it. Do any of you seasoned geddon users out there have a fix for me?

      The seat needs to be flipped. It is the ONLY AA product you can flip the seat on. If that doesnt work find another seat. Mag seats WILL NOT work on the HP side, they are way too soft.

        I have the same bottle. Mine also leaks when I put the output pressure above 1000psi.
        I found that the guage on the side was buggered, when I tested the output pressure it was going to 1200psi before it leaked.

        Shane-o-mac is right about the reg seat, It looks the same as a regular classic mag reg seat. I didn't realise you could not use a mag one though cause I never changed mine.

        Check your output pressure properly dont just believe your few years old guage.

          the reg seat needs to be flipped or replaced.

          And yes, it is still leaking when its on the reg, since the bottle side is half of the reg. You will be getting a boatload of creep using it like that.

            I tried flipping the reg seat around but that did not seem to help any. So I stretched out the valve pin spring out and that seemed to stop the leak. Not sure how long that is going to work though, anyone know where I can get a replacement spring or replacement in general?

              Proshop - Sry I don't mess around with HPA tank valves. For me it just seems to dangerous to have something wrong happen.

                It is proabably still leaking, or you torqued the reg seat down better the second time around. That spring is nothing more than a guide for the pin. The tank puts full tank pressure to the pin. that spring wont change anything as long as its in there. Take some alcohol and fill the top of the tank where the seat goes and see if any bubbles show up, watch it for 5 minutes or so. Sounds like you may have got it set right when you took it apart and stretched the spring. There is someone selling parts on ebay, but you will have to find them.
