Im confused completely now, esspically what gtrsi said.

Put it all back togther, hopefully in the correct order, and try to fill it with the on/off in the on and off postion. I cant remember which way it sits to fill the tank.

Sorry, but thats total crap. The pressure inside the tank changes negligibly.

At ground level, air pressure is 1ATM, or 14.7 PSI.

Assume that you moved the tank into outer space, and lost all atmospheric pressure (since planes don't go QUITE that high, you will always have some atmospheric pressure).

The pressure difference outside the tank would be... you guessed it... 14.7 PSI. Thats less than 1% of a tanks rating. Overfilling your tank by 14.7 PSI won't effect the tank at all, why would losing 14.7 PSI outside the tank matter?

The reason that policy is in effect for airplanes is that low pressure vessels, say a tank that stores gas at 100 PSI, the change in pressure is much more drastic (14.7% in a 100 PSI vessel as opposed to 0.32% in a 4500 PSI vessel.

Shipping the tank filled, while not a good idea for legal reasons, or if the bottle had been mishandled during shipment, isn't cause to cause a rupture or regulator damage simply due to overpressurization any more than leaving a tank sitting around with pressure in it for a few days.

Thordic is indeed correct. Its a legal issue for air shipment. Not really a safety issue as much as one would think. Thier regulations just refer to shipping of "pressurized vessels". Not specificaly to Air filled paintball tanks. Pressurized Vessels CAN be air shipped if properly labeled and adheared to the IATA packaging regs. This kicks them into labeling for the material within and likely cargo plane only for some things. But he did not do this nor would he probably know how. Lots of red tape and stuff to do it. Easier to ship empty and at Atmospheric pressure to avoid the Regulations than it is to adhear to them. Or ship ground only which allows 30psi Air to be considered "empty" for ground shipment. He coulda got in a lot of trouble the way he shipped that thing. But the tank would be fine either way.

Older conquests wont show pressure when you fill them unless the tank is on. mount it to your gun turn it on and try to fill it

Naperville...there are many more options than Bad Boys Toys near you.

The problem with your tank is probably very minor. You should take it over to Fox Paintball, it is very close to you and they have have good tech/service.
