Can I only use the tank that came with it?
Is something else my problem?
I remember having similar issues with an SL-68 II I had a while back. The pin depressor in the ASA was a bit too long for any of the tanks I had and it would vent CO2 before the o-ring had a chance to seat. The easy solution is to drop a tank o-ring into the ASA. This should take up the difference and allow you to use the new tank. The more involve solution is to grind down the pin in the ASA, but if you grind it too much, you're kinda screwed. So, I'd suggest trying the o-ring trick first.
