Need help fast, 2-liter and Co2, will it work?

Garbageman705 · 07-20-2008, 05:02 PM

I want to go get some play in, all I have access to is Co2 today. I am using a cocker pump with a 2-liter. Will it ruin my reg?

Thanks.

I think it's ok. Sidewinders are supposedly CO2 friendly. I assume the 2 liter uses the same type of seal materials, so I don't see why it would be bad for it.

Also I'd think it would be pretty tough to freeze a reg using a pump.

as long as you aren't feeding the reg liquid co2, i.e. tilting the tank so that the liquid is flowing into the regulator, it should be fine.

Would 12grams be an issue with liquid getting into the reg??

Your 2 Liter will be fine.

I'm getting a leak from the sidewinder (the part that actually moves around). Any help?

There are 2 large, thin o-rings that seal that area. One or both is probably bad.

You could try oiling first.

I will try.
