Hello AGN:
I got my first Brocock PCP this week and am having an issue filling it. When I connected it to my SCBA tank and brought it up to about 250bar, I went to open the bleed valve to let out the remaining air in the fill hose so that I could remove it. Instead of bleeding the air in the fill hose, it emptied the air directly from the rifle bottle! I tried several times with different tanks & fill assemblies but got the same result each time so now the rifle sits with an empty bottle. Unlike my FX bottles, the Brocock bottle doesn't appear to have its own valve and the bottle itself is screwed directly onto the action. It appears some other internal valve is stuck open which is letting all of the air out of the bottle when I tried to bleed the fill hose.
I've been in this hobby for some 15yrs and have done this same fill process hundreds of times and have not come across this issue until now. Does anyone have an idea what's happening here and how to resolve it?
