If you have searched with words or phrases like "Can't fill up my PCP," "PCP air gun does not load air," "Air escapes from my PCP air gun" or "What to do if air escapes from my PCP air gun," then you have come to the correct location! In this World Famous Suspense Filled Dirt E. Harry Thriller, I will show you how to stop the air from escaping when you are filling or charging your PCP air gun.

Problem: the firing valve is stuck in the open position letting air escape.

Solution: Put your air gun in a gun vise or sit down and hold it in your lap. Cock your air gun (it has to be cocked). Install the probe or inflating device and start the air. With air escaping, support the receiver (trigger area) with one hand and tap on the top of the receiver or scope attachment rail with a rubber hammer. You are listening for a "click." Once you hear the "click" the firing valve will close, the air will stop escaping and you will be able to fill your air gun to its capacity. If the firing valve does not close, pull the trigger and fire your air gun in a safe direction with no pellets (dry fire), cock your air gun again and repeat the process.

If you are using a hand pump, another person must pump while you are performing the process. I hope this helps you.
