anyone know how to de-gass a fx crown? + bottle

[tiny_cabbages]

I tried un-screwing it to a point, but it only de-gasses the gun. I've tried screwing it back in and backout but after 20 goes, i still have like 150bar.

Have you tried loosening the pressure gauge for the tank and just let it slowly bleed off that way?

 

[JimNM]

Are you reading the pressure in the regulator? Try dry firing the gun to see if that drops that pressure you're seeing.

is that a good idea given its under pressure?

As in, i want to take all the air out of my bottle, so it would still be attached to the crown if i'm using the crown to let the air out.

I've tried dry firing it to de-gas the bottle, but i'm using min power, cos i don't want to damage the gyn/o-rings, but its taking like 100's of shots.

Be careful dry-firing a depressurized PCP. This could damage your valve if it is not specifically designed for this.

 

[JimNM]

Ok, don't dry fire is pretty good advice when that is considered.

Next idea....

Just crack the reg pressure gauge open and let it bleed off.

Just crack the reg pressure gauge open and let it bleed off.

Firing to degas is a lot of shots and can damage your valve

Ok, so take the gun out of it casing and unscrew the pressure guage?
So this step here: At the 5:00mark

Remember the bottle will still be attached to the gun, as i want to de-gas the bottle too..... Are you sure about this.

5:17 reg gage. Just crack it until it starts hissing. To test, pull the bottle first. There will still be pressure on the reg. A lot of times you'll be able to loosen the gauge by hand. Reg pressure will bleed off. 

Youll then be able to screw the bottle back on and slightly loosen the gauge and bleed the bottle

You can also degass by filling it connected with your hose till you hear it click then shut the tank valve then SLOWLY! crack the bleeder till it STARTS to SLOWLY! BARELY! hiss then LET GO! walk away and go make a sandwich.

 

[Glem.Chally]

Just unscrew the bottle until it starts to hiss. Leave until empty.

Watch THIS and by the time THIS VIDEO is OVER your tank should be degassed.
