AI Propane Adapter stuck in bottle
Lately,I have been have trouble detaching my AI Plastic Propane adapter off my propane tank. The rubber seal on the adapter has had difficulty detaching from the tank, and I usually have to yank it out. The adapter used to detach effortlessly when I unscrewed it. I've had it since October, and I've started to have this problem over the last month.
I was plinking my GBB today and the rubber seal flew away when I detached my propane adapter, so I'll have to get a new propane adapter. Is it common for the AI Propane adapter to stick into the tank and have to be yanked out? How could I avoid this with a new one? Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Have you been putting in a couple drops of AI oil?

Did you use the test probe to make sure it's not a defective tank? A few are assembled in error, and have an o-ring that's squished, which will causing the exact problem you're describing.

Sounds like an overpressed tank oring. Look at the manual for a section on testing to see if your oring is overpressed.

Thanks for the replies!
I have been using the included silicon oil with the adapter, refilling every 8 fills. I just tested the tank, and it doesn't appear to be deformed. The manual stated that "The crushed O-ring should rub on the probe", yet there does not appear to be any resistance when I insert the test probe into the tank. There is, however, rubber marks around the seal on the tank. Is there anything on the tank/adapter I should be looking explicitly looking out for? |
