im thinking if u can push the pin in at the top , and nothing is coming out maybe ur guage is stuck? , in theory should he not be able to push it in without force if its filled?

what ever you do DONT unscrew anything until you are 100% sure there is no air in it.

it does sound like the guage has gone tho.

can you push the pin in with your finger?

 

[Tom Allen]

have you tried putting air in

 

[mikedbrionne]

lol, yes of course there is air in it and of course im not going to unscrew anything. yes i can push it in with my finger. so if the guage has gone how easy is it for someone to fix? because im going to a tourney on sat. u think they will be able to fix it there? or do i need a new bottle?

what i think tom is trying to say is try and put more air in, then see if you have the same prob

 

[mikedbrionne]

well i have 1500 psi in it atm so its in no way low. in the sense that i shouldnt have a prob getting the air out. i can push the pin in at the top with my finger which you cannot usually do if it is at 1500 psi usually. so i think the guage might have gone like someone sed before.

im not saying that there is no air in ther, but are you 100% certain theres air in there, i know it sounds stupid

 

[mikedbrionne]

yes i am certain. i filled it on sunday hadnt used it at all. fired about 10 shots through my marker. it was on 1500 psi before i took it out while it was working. i unscrewed it, then bout 20 mins later i screwed it on again, it fired about one complete shot and then pressure dropped on my gat and no shots fired. then i unscrewed the tank and was able to push the pin in at the top and no air came out.

 

[mikey601]

does your gat still work?

also im not sure if its possible but you might of emptied all the air in those few shots, im no expert. what i would do (apart from take it to tom allen) is to try and fill it with and go from there otherwise be extremely carefull removing the reg if you think there air still there
