when you say "squeaks" do you mean air comming our or rubber agaisnt metal? also you have cross threaded it? check the threads on the tank, and check threads where the *drawing a blank* tank screws in..... what ever it is called

[Kris1187]

i dont think i cross threaded it cuz i have never had it happen and then one day it happend everytime wen i was at a field get air re fills during games it rubs metal to metal and i just htink i ned a new bottom line cuz i hope its that cuz a bottom line is cheaper then getting a new tank

take it to your local proshop and let them hear this "sqweeking" sound.

try a drop of oil on the pin valve and put some grease on the threads of the tank.

you can also use some sort of anti-sieze on the threads of your tank. dont go overboard with it though, you dont really want any of the anti-sieze making its way into your gun. just give all of the threads a good thin coating. anti-sieze can be found at any hardware or autoparts store. if you do this on a regular basis, you will have no more problems.
