These might be worth grabbing and they're cheap enough over at fasttech etc

If you've got steady hands and are sure you won't knock the tank you can top fill it. Start watching from around the 40 min mark as its a busardo video so it'll be the same length as Star Wars directors cut. It'll be worth flicking it upside down after the threads start to catch as it may stop the leaks as it'll not force the juice out of the airflow as it'll be air instead if that makes any sense.

thanks for the link.
its impossible to get top cap off though lol well for me

its loosen up a bit since so its getting more manageable or im just getting better at doing it.

i got a simba tank which is top fill. maybe if i get goliath top off with pliers i can swap over

Yeah try not to tighten it down too much. If you need to get the bottom off you can always stick something through the airslots to get some leverage. Allen key or small screwdriver or similar should do the trick. Gluck

This has saved me a lot of trouble over the year or so I've had it kingofswords! With the Goliath I've used this to hold it around the knurled section and a small screwdriver in the airhole to twist off the base section - screwdriver has to be just the right size, though.

Oh, and put plenty of VG or juice on the O-rings to lubricate....
