Hi guys, while I was moding my Mrod, I noticed the reservoir was pretty dirty. It looked moisture has gotten inside the reservoir some how, and front of the pressure gauge adapter was covered with rust and grey stuff.

Has anyone run into this kind of issue when you opened up the reservoir? Not sure if this is normal? Probably too late to make exchange but just wanted to know if others have same issue?


*update*
hmmm... after reading post, i'm really worried now :S

if you scroll down, you can see the picture where it's pitting pretty bad. That's the same area where gauge adapter started to rust on my Mrod. Last thing I want is, this thing blowing up in my face.....

Sung, are you using a hand pump for your air source? If so, I believe heat and moisture are a byproduct of all the pumping action. Where as bottled air (SCBA, SCUBA) is filtered, dried air free of all contaminates. Steve

One of those "fancy" scuba tanks used should run right at $100.00, a yoke off ebay is $35.00 and you get clean air. If you already have a problem do not just let it go, either send it back to crosman or remove said part and coat it as well as the entire inside of the tune with a thin coat of divers grease which should take care of things.

Yeah, I contacted crosman. They called me this morning saying engineers wanted to take a look at it, also they said they will still cover the repair under warranty even though I opened it. Their customer support lives up to the expectation

Area I live has absolutely no diver shop that will fill tank unless I go out of county... Too much trouble I think I might give hill pump with dry pac a try. I think people have good experiences with them.
