Tank Question and Suggestions

[louie]

My tank seems to be stuck to the ASA. I don't know what happened but for some reason it won't screw out of the unimount. I've tried using a strap wrench on the section connected to the threads and I've tried to take it out the normal way. As I was tryign to take it out, I noticed that the section with the fill nipple and the section with the threads were also moving. There isn't much moving but you can see it shift. Here's a picture:

The pink arrows point to where its moving a little bit. Should I be worried about this? Does anyone have a suggestion how to take the tank off?

There had air in and I emptied it (by shooting). The tank didn't leak at all. I'm still not sure if it would be kosher to use or not.

Well I have no clue, those strap wrenches are pretty mean

Though I might suggest shooting it dry just incase you accidentally blow yourself up :O

The tank is completely empty now.

..

first shoot as much out of the tank as possible then tighten those two grub screws as tight as you can without bustin um'. then grab the tank, take a second look at your hands and repeat "righty tighty, left loosey" and crank for all your worth.

That's what I'm thinking. I hope its that and not because the threads got messed up. I'm trying right now with two strap wrenches and I'm getting nowhere.

I got it off. The tank o-ring seems to be fine, so I'm not sure what caused it to get stuck.

Thanks for all the help everyone.
