Tactical Crusade Green Gas Leakage

Hello fellow forum users!

I have an "interesting" problem not with the gun, but with a green gas can instead. About a week ago, I purchased 2 cans of Tactical Crusader Green Gas while at the Arms Airsoft 2014.



All was fine and dandy until I went to a skirmish and went to fill up my Glock 17 mag. While I was filling up the mag (up side down how it is supposed to be), the nozzle on the can started leaking (and I mean badly). Sometimes it also gets stuck in the open position, at which it stays for good 5 seconds (I unblocked it with my hand in a glove, had ice everywhere and I think it was close to getting a frost bite).

Here is the troublesome nozzle (ignore the black extension)....

This was the first can. After multiple attempts, I gave up, and went to the second can (didn't even open it before). The same story took place as with the first, except with a smaller extent (really annoying, since it is a completely new can)...

So here are the questions:
1) Did anyone else have the same problem or am I the one and only?
2) Is there any way to fix it (don't want to pollute the environment + gas costs money)?

Thank you in advance for any responses!

P.S. Yes, I know I should probably use propane, but as I am still learning the way my first GBB operates, I think it is safer that I stick with green gas.

Have you tried returning it to the store you bought it from? For how long do you charge your mags?

green gas IS propane so its not any different other than the smell and the fact that youll have to add the oil to the propane every few mags as the green gas has it pre mixed.
other wise i have no answer to your issue, never used green gas cause its expensive and the same thing as propane. Shouldda put yer money towards an AI propane adapter and never worried bout lil stuff like this again lol

Use propane instead.
