Omg I finally screwed my self

[Barzor]

Pls help. I have extra parts. So I was tuning my stock reg on my pp700sa I screwed my reg screw all the way in towards the gauge. An I was getting 350 fps but very consistent and many shots. So I thought if I go opposite way towards the trigger that it would increase velocity.

Omg I’m screwed so the reg screw is not flush but out 1.5 threads out. I filled the tank. And when I shot nothing. The valve does not fill with air. No I’m screwed as I cannot empty the tank. How in the world can I remove the air from tank it’s at full psi too? I tried screwing in the reg screw through the hole by trigger but no luck.

Can I drill a tiny hole in tank slowly? Omg not sure what to do.

No do NOT drill it. I think you can pull the dust cover off of the fill probe port (the bit that spins) and then slowly turn out the gauge until it starts leaking air

What stupidity I was able to get the air out. I was able to unscrew the tank slowly and air came out. I wish there is a safety to remove air.

Thanks to this forum. Thanks for advice that was scary for a sec.

When in doubt, SLOWLY loosening pressure gauge is probably your best bet. You scared me even MENTIONING drilling. Get that thought out of your head, FOREVER! High Pressure air & drilling is disaster waiting to happen!!!

What happened that caused the valve not to fill with air and when hammer dropped the gun did not fire. I’m sure the reg screw was too far out is what caused my issue.

It’s said that when you screw the reg screw all the way down it bypasses the reg. So why when I screwed the screw to almost all the way down that the velocity decreased???

I originally had the screw flush with the reg body.

To get increased reg pressure do I screw in or out?

Too much pressure that the hammer couldn't open the valve would be my guess

Actually the hammer was able to depress the popet pin. There is just no air in the valve.
I think I’ll just by a huma reg. Lol

I think you scared everyone that read your first post.

The sky was definitely falling for a moment there, dramatic even.

Reading this thread title I had nostalgia from when I drove a 1" screw straight through my finger while at work, I looked at my finger, then at my co-worker, then promptly re-attached the drill to the screw and reversed it out. So lucky I didn't hit a nerve or ligament. I thought your post was going in that direction...glad it wasn't and glad you didn't drill your tube! Whew.

Back off pressure gauge until leaking or any other fitting that is under HP

Thanks so useful to be on this forum.

Another trick is to hook your fill device up and add just enough pressure to open the fill valve. Then shut it off and slowly open the bleed valve. Not so fast it allows the fill valve to close. It will bleed out in short order.

The only scary part of this thread was the suggestion of drilling a hole in a gun to degass it. I guess for me (sorry just being honest ) it was mostly funny and not really scary

I hope you were kidding or trying to make a funny when you mentioned drilling into a tank with high pressure air. I don’t mean to sound like an @$$. Those who know me know being a preek isn’t my style, but if you indeed were serious I suggest you find another hobby as sooner or later, with that kind of thinking as a hope of fixing, you’re gonna kill yourself and/or others. Dealing with high pressure air doesn’t require a lot of common sense but again it sort of does.

I hope you also know not to use any petroleum type lubricants in the high pressure system such as 3 in 1 oil or WD40.
My God….

Come on now guys, to his credit he did say drill SLOWLY. Clearly a cautious deep thinker not some dummy with a hammer and nail. That brings to mind a question, any of you know the best way to plug a nail hole in a tank? I'm thinking maybe a drywall screw or two.
