How do you dump a Tank
I recently put an E-tac on my Talon and after getting everything lined up and put back together, realized it was slowly leaking and losing 1k psi a day. I tightened up the gauge and the fill nipple, now it doesn’t seem to leak, but is hard to fill. Is it possible that I tightened in the fill nipple to far and now it is blocking the fill hole? I need to dump the pressure from my tank and don’t feel like dry firing it for a half an hour.. any ideas?

Lurker….. you said it.. a few extra raps and I was good to go… Thanks
HI-YA!! π
Uh… Thanks? π No I don’t have my period. but we do have some members with Black Belts in Mouth Karate π

only on thursdays….
Don’t you just hate it when your nipples are twisted to much, or is it just me?
Welcome to the TAG π
The tangent, as you put it, was kinda pertinent to the subject. Sort of π
Grab a beer and chill the fuck out. π
no! beer is bad, it makes you prone to thread jacking! π uh, oh- i did it again π im goin to rehab π₯

Someone shit in harry’s cheerios??? LMAO! I mean damn! You had the answer given to you in 6 minutes and you’re bitching????? That time of the month huh?
C’mon fellows, he did not want all this rhetoric. He prefers the manufacturers type of answer like, “Send it to us and we will replace within the warranty period.”
The problem is by the time you get it back it may be out of warranty.
Although I think he has already figured it out to Simply replace the thread seal tape with more wraps than before and don’t drive it down in so far the next time.
ease up harry π
just the regular ol hijackin going on here


lol
anyways i believe they are refering to pab and his arguement on another forum about Diesling in a PCP and the laws of physics blah blah
now for dumpin tank use a dime in the fill adapter or just shoot it on high power a bunch of shots
my bad. π too much beer, i guess
Sam, it’s known as Boyles Law. I’ll quote as it explains it better than I can…
The Ideal Gas Law states pV = nRT, where P = The pressure of the gas in Pa, V = Volume of gas in m3, n = Number of moles of gas, R = A constant of about 8.314 and T = Temperature in K.
To put it in simple way the pressure in the tank is due to internal energy of the molecules of gas,now release the air all of sudden, then gas will come out but it needs energy to come out,it will use its own energy, thjat means gas used its internal energy,since it lost its energy, its gets cold thus the tank in which it was kept becomes cold.
(But it follows certain laws)
In physics, the JouleβThomson effect or JouleβKelvin effect describes the increase or decrease in the temperature of a real gas when it is allowed to expand freely at constant enthalpy (which means that no heat is transferred to or from the gas, and no external work is extracted)
As a gas expands, the average distance between molecules grows. Because of intermolecular attractive forces (Van der Waals force), expansion causes an increase in the potential energy of the gas. If no external work is extracted in the process (βfree expansionβ) and no heat is transferred, the total energy of the gas remains the same because of the conservation of energy.
The increase in potential energy thus implies a decrease in kinetic energy and therefore in temperature.
Profanity is really not neccessary, fill nipples are quite oftenly over tightenned.
Harryparatestis : There is another post about the same problem, fill nipple to tight. I can’t find it. This type of thread hijacking happens regularly here on the TAG. I’m Just trying to help-Glad you got it straightened out.

It is so silly, cause everyone knows that a PCP can’t diesel. The air coming out is too cold to allow it to dies.. ok ok ok ! it was a JOKE! I just wanted to see Pab’s face.
