: i recently installed a pure energy regulator on my tippmann 98 custom runing on co2, and i had the co2 tank off becuse it was basically out of c02,so today i put it on to see if there was anything left when i screwed, it on and co2 started to leak out from the side of the regulator where it meets in the middle where you can turn it anyway you whant,that way the hose can be moved around,and i know theres a lil tiny hole to let out pressure on the side but it wasnt that, please help me what was that is that normal because there was so little c02,or does it mean that something broke @@@ Not an expert here but I can help you get started. next time you hook up your tank do make sure it is full. Also, it is important to lubed the regulator. If you haven't yet done this use a light gun oil in the inline threads going into the reg. I just bought last week a PMI HPA tank and my reg leaked out the whole fill before the reg set itself in place. Maybe it had a small particle in it, or it hadn't yet seated itself, but it works fine now, no leaks. If lubing the reg doesn't cure your leak that is the extent of my knowledge.
