leaking tank?

[jeremy7]

ok i have a centerflag hyperflow 420 68/4500...i've had about 1000psi in it for about a month and i wanted to shoot it all out so i could put it on my impy (no noid in it right now) so i got my nephews back up gun from him (spyder amg) and i hooked it up to it, was walking the trigger when, it was on single fire mode, then all of a sudden it went into like automatic mode kind of like when you are out of co2.....which i have never emptied my hyperflow tank so i dunno if this is normal with them also...but the thing i am worried about, it started leaking out of the little hole on the side where it says hyperflow....is this like a safety thing for when the tank gets so low? can i fill it back up and play? or will i have to buy a new piece for it?

Can't speak for the Hyperflow, but a few guys on my squad use the Dynaflow (almost the same). When this drops below a certain pressure it seems that there's not enough pressure to keep the seals tight, and it starts dumping air. But this is at very, VERY low pressure. What pressure would you say it was on when this happened?
Oh, and the marker going 'automatic', that's normal. Doesn't have anything to do with Co2 or air, it's just that there's not enough pressure going into the marker to be able to recock itself.
