Bottle filling problem

#1 Post by jshiver » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:14 pm

I have a buddy that fills my bottles with a pump and he called me yesterday with a unique problem. I bought a 10lb NOS bottle with the regular valve about a month ago that was empty. He said..when he opened the mother bottle first and then the 10lb bottle...it wouldn't fill...He then tried opening the 10lb bottle first and then it tried to fill...He said he knew this was wrong and wouldn't fill it...Has anyone ever had problems like this before? Can it be fixed, or do I need to buy a new valve? Thanks,Jason

Sounds to me like a pump problem or something, I've never ran into anything like that. That valve is either going to work or it'll leak. It would be pretty rare where one wouldn't open up unless someone stripped the splines off the knob or something.
