| make sure the tank is empty. Then use a wrench to take off the fill nipple. Check the o ring inside the nipple. I had the same problem a few weeks ago and it was a warn out ring. | |

| Make sure theres no air in the tank, put it on the asa and then depress the pin with your finger. you shouldn't fell/hear any air. Then, take a wrench and take off the fill nipple. look at the oring on it. it shouldn't be messed up. if it is you will have to replace it. Put Teflon tape on the fill nipple threads and put it back on the reg. | |

NEVER DEPRESS the pin with your finger!!!!!!!!!!!! Use a tool to depress the pin frost bite / air into your blood stream....... Bring it by the shop if you'd like. | |
