When I put gas in it leaks out the top hole. Can anyone help me on what it is and tell me what I do to stop it. Cheers

check the o ring on your bottle mate first thing to go
This /\

Also if that is how far you turn your on/off, I'd give it a quarter turn back out to avoid shootdown. Not sure about the eclipse asa's but some don't like being on all the way. I have a cobra coil remote for example and if I tighten the on/off all the way, the valve pin pushes down so far on the tank pin that it kind of seals itself and makes for a very restricted airflow.

if it leaks out of the front hole (nearest on/off knob) then the o rings on the oops pin are dry or damaged, lubricate them or replace if neccesary

if it leaks out of the rear hole (nearest the tank) then the tank o ring is damaged, so replace the tank o ring
