Or is the fill adapter useless and dangerous?
I have a new FX bottle valve I ordered from Ohio Ariguns, installed on a 700cc alsafe bottle.
I just tried to fill it for the first time using my spritech and this;
https://canadashootingsupply.ca/product/huma-air-quick-fill-adapter-for-fx-bottles/
I got it up to about 100 bar and decided to give my spritech an break. Shut down the compressor and then opened the bleed/relief valve (so as not to preload it when I turned it back on)
Well, all the air that had been pumped in just kept coming back out. When it got low enough I pulled that adapter off, and naked the FX valve continued to release the last gasps of air.
It turns out that there is no valve in the adapter linked above, it is a straight opening all the way through? So ok, that means opening the bleed valve will let the air out until I unscrew it,. hopefully allowing the FX bottle valve to close. But doesn't that mean I am unscrewing from the bottle with all that pressure still in the whip? Even if the FX valve does it's job, this would still be a hazard?
Should I just send it (FX Bottle valve) back? What about this fill adapter? or did I not fill it enough to work? or something else I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
