Any way to rectify greengas cans spraying/leaking gas everytime I try and recharge my mags? I have used many cans in past with this issue happening a quarter of the time.
I follow the correct instructions/procedure to recharge them, but the fkn can nozzles keep spraying gas and frosting everywhere. This is despite shaking the cans before use.
I’m using the Dino 12KG stored at relative indoor ambient temp - up here in SEQld so winter is fairly mild compared to down south.
Frankly got fed up with wasting gas and potentially compromising my mag valves and seals with frosting, I ended up smashing the can on the ground and ruptured it in frustration realising it was a dud can to begin with.
With the gas stuff I have I found you can never really completely seal off the connection when filling mags and that, but check the o-ring around the valve, they like to yeet themselves into oblivion.
I believe the purpose of that o-ring is to stop gas from escaping when filling.
There should be a o-ring in the fill valve to stop the gas yeeting out as you fill, but some manufacturers of mags and or gas cans just don’t play the game.
If you can get a small enough oring to fit, sometimes that helps to seal the valve.
Early Golden Eagle pistols were famous for it. Later ones are better.
The other trick was a piece of vacuum hose, cut to fit snugly over the spout on the gas can though that was not always a good solution, just a slight help sometimes.
