I think there might be some confusion. I'm not talking about grinding down the pin on the tank (big no no). I meant grinding material around the pin (on the cradle) that depresses the pin valve on the tank. : He has the right idea though. : Possibly , the valve stem in the tank isn't being depressed sufficiently to get the refil flow you need between faster shots. : If so, this would be a WARRENTY ITEM that PURE ENERGY or you retailer should fix. : But the retailer might say, you have a 'gun problem' and not a tank problem. : So here is how you evaluate it. CHEAP DIAGNOSIS! : Cut a 3/8" circle out of a 2 liter soda bottle or milk carton. Drop it in the ASA and screw in the bottle. : That will depress the valve stem .005 - .010" : more. : If your problem improves or goes away, then you know that is your problem so you can make arrangements for an warrenty exchange or fix. : It is also a temporary fix you can use to play with so you don't miss your scheduled paintball. : My local store can install and change valve stems on the PE tanks. Just had one fixed myself for $6 bucks. Cheaper than shipping one off to the factory.... :
