Taking Off Tank Without Loosing Air?

[TomPaintball]

Hey I Have A Ego 06.
And i screwed it on fine and the air was coming out fine and all.
But i want to take it off now, when i unscrew it air leaks out?
What do i do stop take it off and to keep the air?

Cheers
Tom

It is probably the air that left in the macroline and front reg.
Once the bottle is out a certain distance, the pin won't be depressed any more and close of the valve in the bottle reg.


If its still coming out the bottle when its detached from the gun, they the seal is damaged in the bottle reg.
Best to see someone like hpac or a paintball shop to get it sorted

have you turned the asa off??

as if the asa is off then the pin on the bottle should not be depressed so it should not leak air.

if you have turned it off then i agree with SwissTony you may have a problem with your bottle, let h pak have a look

What is the Asa?

the Air Source Adaptor is on the bottom of the grip frame you screw the bottle into.
the eclipse ego's are fitted with an on/off purge system (OOPS) as standard.

there is a screw in piece on the front of the ASA - screw it in and air flows - screw it out and it will release the bottle pin and woosh out the air from the macroline and reg (thus the purge bit). this lets you then unscrew the bottle without losing any more air.

I recommend downloading, or opening the Manual for your marker.

If you don't have it, go to www.planeteclipse.com and download the correct manual for your marker.

Reading the manual would be a good idea as you don't appear to know your way around a marker and air system too well.
