So I finally had time to get my brand new air Venturi tank filled after work this afternoon. Very excited. Waited about 15 min, not bad. $20, great! Guy at paintball store wasn't a weirdo, so we could shoot the @#$% and not just stand there in awkward silence while it was filling. Cool.
Take off anxious to get home and try it out. I'm almost home, and Pssssssssssssst! from the back seat! I pull over as fast as possible, and by the time I get stopped and tighten the valve to stop the leak, its gone down from 300bar to just over 100.....@#$%!! Can't see that there is anything wrong, other than the valve just opened up.
I guess what happened was as the tank cooled down, it let the valve open up enough to let air start escaping. Lesson learned, check the dang valve and make sure it's tight! I'm an hour-½ out of town so I can't just run back to store real quick. Won't have another chance to get it filled till next week. Won't make that mistake again lol.
