air tank in enough. When screwing your air tank into the
TM7's regulator ASA, it is important to not stop as soon as
the marker pressurizes, but to continue turning until the air
tank stops. It is also acceptable to install the air tank when
it is empty, then have it filled by a professional while it is
installed. This will ensure that you get the maximum air
