So I have had an on going head ache with my nitrous system, but i'm very dedicated to the cause. I have a tank and when I purge I just get compressed air and I know its full. of nitrous but i just get air. Juiced said that the pickup tube in the nitrous bottle was out so I called zex and they said it was possible to disassemble the tank and check but wouldnt really give me tons of info.

I have a large wrench that fits on the valve but it just wont turn and if I am finally able to get it to turn will I be able to get it air tight again? Should I have a professional do this? If so where would I find some one that would be able to do it?

 

It should twist off, but should be on very tight. I can't remember how it seals though, but you can put it back on.

I would check out this forum and ask them. Theres a main group of 4-5 guys that post on there that really know their stuff. Sometimes it takes a few days for a response though.

But if the pickup tube fell out, you should hear it rattling on the inside....

 

I would just have a scuba shop do it. They'll have everything necessary to do it right.

 

I DO hear something rattling around. So maybe this is my problem



So I finally got the valve off and found that the rattling is coming from with in the valve its self. The tube is connected and looks good its self....

 

Maybe take it to a scuba tank place

 

Yea I may do that. The rattling stopped when the valve was completely opened or closed.. I do not see anything that is obviously wrong

 

The valve shouldn't rattle at all. I would guess thats the issue.


Check your local craigslist. You can find 10 lb bottles for cheap or see if you can borrow someones and pay them a few bucks for using there bottle to test it and use their nitrous.
