: have seen more than one impulse/shocker open tank before it has a chance to seat properly.
: -i personnely think that the pin/stud that opens tank pin valve is a whisker long sometimes on the maxflo.
: try putting spare o-ring inside asa so tank has something to seal against.
: -but that is problematic.
: otherwise get an on-off valve tank so you can screw it in and then open valve.

:
: : My shocker is leaking every time I try to use my tank on the gun! If I hook up the remote it Doesn't leak any Ideas? By the way this is my first gun problem I've ran into and don't know that much about my shocker.

I think Smart Parts designed the ASA with a long pin to discourage people from using pin valve bottles on the Shocker. The instructions call for an anti-siphon tank w/ an on/off valve to allow the slow pressurization of the Max-Flo reg. With a pin valve, you go to full pressure the instant you depress the pin (note the purge hole inside the ASA) and risk blowing something in the reg or gun if everything does not seal up perfectly.
