I know that the output pressure is supposed to be around 850 psi on my CA
tank, but has anybody had a problem with the reg ont he tank putting out more than the designated pressure. In particular I have a Pure Energy tank, 67/3000 and I hear that there have been problems with these in the past in fairly significant numbers. I have an impulse with a horizontal max flow. As soon as I put air to the marker, the little release valve just above the pressure guage starts to pop, releasing the air pressure. It is not a steady release like a rupture disk, but the little valve stem thingy (whatever it is called) pops up and down releasing air. I am at a loss as to what to do, I took the reg apart, it seems clean and assembled properly, but the problem persists. A shop owner suggested it may be too much pressure coming out of the tank, but I am in doubt. Any insight would be appreciated before I ship it off to SP. Thanks |

Put a gauge on it.
I actually added another spring to mine so the output pressure would be higher. Some guns do better with a low pressure tank. You can get a spring kit for your regulator that changes it to around 450 psi. -- "Don't be misled, bad company corrupts good character." www.LCTPaintball.com www.LCTProducts.com "Brian" <brian22@mail.com> wrote in message news:y-qdnUigKaKDmQHcRVn-gw@rogers.com... >I know that the output pressure is supposed to be around 850 psi on my CA > tank, but has anybody had a problem with the reg ont he tank putting out > more than the designated pressure.

If the reg still fails, then you know it the reg. If the reg works, that would mean that the tank may be at fault. Also, your pro shop should have a pressure gauge to test the ouput pressure of your tank... |
