Leakage in my nipple

[Swanky_Sam]

I have a gross fire tank and no nipple cover.

ok well I was filling my tank and when I try to release the access gas in the fill station It just leaks out all the air in my tank. So I am looking at my tank trying to find out the problem. And I try to blow air in the nipple and the air goes in and out when I take my lips off it. Now I have never done this before and I dont know If that is normal. but I cant fill the tank.

thanks

oops I should have put this in the tech forem right

Haha. I had something of the same problem. I tried to fill my X-Fire tank with a scuba tank(w/fill station) and the air wouldn't fill up my N2 tank so I had to keep emptying it everytime. Then I got curious. I emptied my N2 tank completely, got a hex wrench and unscrewed the nipple entirely. Guess what I found: the o-ring on the one way valve inside the nipple was out of its little groove and that's why it would fill but then let the air out again. So, empty your tank COMPLETELY! Then, unscrew the nipple and see if the oring is either missing out of place. If it's neither bring it to a pro-shop.

is it just a normal o ring?

[Remington]

No, it's a small black one.
