Hi,

My situation:
I work in a hardware store, we sell Painball supplies and just got a CO2 50Lbs tank (with syphon), I ordered a refill station + digital scale.

Now following the instruction found on this board I tried to fill a brand new tank but am having problems.

Too cool down the 9 Oz tank, I tried to fill some CO2 in it but the CO2 is leaking from the top of the CA adaptor's pin depress.

I tried screwing it all the way down (it doesn't go completely all the way down) and also tried to screw it in just a bit and everytime I have CO2 coming out by the top of the adaptor (where the handle is).

I hope u understand my little drawing.....
Now I had one (kinda) ruber washer with the refill station that I put between the station adapter and the 50Lbs CO2 tank but did not have any in the CA adaptor's with pin depress screw.

When I tried to screw the depress pin just a bit, I could actually SEE the CO2 coming out...

Any help would be apreciated.
Thank you in advance.
David
