bead on new k270s won't seat.

Yo- Anyone know where I might acquire a military spec (7 gal) tank for my A16? If so, is it a straight swap or will it involve the re-routing of the radiator to my helmet or something like that? Block A16 p.s. If you are ever on a collision course with a chain link fence, don't bother trying to stop. Just hold on and keep going. You'll go right through. Don't forget to duck the horizontal metal bar or you'll end up with a few broken ribs. Don't ask me how I know this.

Don't worry too much about it. I have had trouble with two K270s until I just applied plenty of lube and used a bead expander. This also seems to be a common issue with TKC80s. Gino, who doesn't show his nozzle to customers www.rvmc.com
