I bought an ASA with an on/Off and I have no idea which way to have it so when I screw my tank in it wont hurt anything.

Should it be as tight as possibly or unscrewed a bit?

umm. you DONT turn it in all the way, or youll get the pin stiuck, keep it all the way unscrewd to put your tank in, then turn it on, untill you hear the gas filling everything up

so by loosening it, it will cause the gasline to fill up?

I'm sorry for dumb questions, I bid for one on Ebay and accidentally won.

screw it in, airs the gun up. screw it out, de-gasses.

1. Unscrew your on-off
2. Screw your tank into the asa
3. Screw on-off back in

All the on-off does is in the pin on the valve of your tank, so by screwing the on-off in, it would press then press in the pin valve, releasing the air.

here is how it works: When you screw the knob in it pushes a pin (or cone on such things as uni's) wich pushes the pin in on the regulator of the tank (if you have already screwed your tank in). the air then goes past the pin (cone etc.) and into either macro line or steel braided hose. the hose goes to your high pressure regulator (or expansion chamber, or nothing) on the gun. when you unscrew the knob the pin (cone etc.) is pushed back by the pin on the tank and is eventually pushed back so that no air is able to pass freely. some on/off's have a self purge, wich degasses the gun once you unscrew the knob, instead of when you unscrew the tank.

so no, by loosening it either degasses the lines (self purge) or air will remain in the lines untill you unscrew the tank giving the air a excape passage thus equalizing the pressure.

EDIT: tippmann666, it will not get the pin stuck if you turn the on/off all the way in, you are supposed to so that you do not restrict the air passage through the regulator and into the on/off.

and don't forget to fire a couple shots AFTER you turn the air off because there will still be some air in the marker.
