Is there an o-ring towards the top of the valve? Where exactly is it leaking from? If the current o-ring is missing or even damaged it may cause it to leak.

[stealthyeliminator]

what dyedude said. but if you think its leaking while not on the gun get a bowl of water and put the end of the tank in the water (might want someone to back me up on this, even though i have always done it) , if you see bubbles then its leaking. however, take off your o-ring before doing this because the water might damage it.

[dyedude22]

Er, I wouldn't reccomend submerging it. Mix a little hand soap into water and use something like a spray bottle to spray various places, where it bubbles is where it's leaking from. However, since he doesn't hear some kind of leaking when the tank isn't screwed in, I doubt it's a leak.

I'd say it's a missing oring on the tank valve

it could be that you dont have an o ring on the tank or that the o ring you have isnt good any more. If it is not good any more it looks all white and big if the o ring is like this put a new one on.

u will know if ur co2 is leakin if u hear it fizzing and making a funny sound also the o ring might have a small dent in it and that is an indication one other thing is if u dip it under the water it might bubble

[aftermath16]

it could be the o ring or does it have a bottom line and ASA adapter. if so it could be the hose leaking. if it is the hose take the hose off of the adapter. or wherever it may be leaking from. clean all of the teflon tape off and retape it and screw it back on. but make sure no tape is block the hose hole.

try replaceing or getting a o-ring for it


or be safe and spen 20 bux on a new tank

[cdude13]

Take it to a paintball repair shop, they will find the problem and fix it for about the price of a new tank, or get a new tank

thats ok, sooner or later you will tire of this. i only have to click one button. you have to go through the hassle of opening a new email account and setting up another account. this is a game that you will get tired of.

try a new tank o-ring if its leaking from the tank. if its leaking from somewere els try tighting it.

[autococker07]

change your o-ring, or oil ur o-ring on your asa.

[PaintballNewb13]

do one of 2 things, replace the O-ring where you think it is leaking, there are a few, or take it to a shop or local paintball field, they can prolly fix it right up.
