hi, i am looking for some guidance and advise of the following;
I have a Dye Throttle Air Tank 4500 PSI.
and the pin on the tank stuck down, but finnaly it popped up again but there was a little split on the gold peace of metal surrouding the pin ( not the silver top, the bit inside the silver top )
so my dad took it out by screwing it out because it has threads so this must mean it is able to screw in and out.
so
question 1. Is it safe to fill the tank with the pin inserted back in ( even though it has a split down the side of the pin )

question 2. Is it safe to fill beacuse the top has being off, ( so dust ect getting into the tank )
would it still be ok to fill.

question 3. If i had to buy a new pin, where would i be able to get one from, where would i get it fitted, or could i fit it my self because it has threads on and is able to screw in and out.

sorry for some many questions but do you have and guidance or advice on what to do.
thank you very much and if you could reply to this thread it would be great.
thanks
:)

If you dont know what your doing, or unsure whether the bottle and reg is safe or not, get it checked out by either a certified air smith, or drop Dye an email, get them to look at it. High pressure air systems can be lethal, never take risks.
