I read the box directions and was pushing down on the valve that opens the gas-way. This is the regulator. I was to gently push down on the valve but they didn't specify that the tube coming off of the regulator was to be gently pushed down. Long story short: I screwed that piece off, bought the 4ft hose and connected it with a clamp. I lost some helium but it's an 8.9cft tank. This should be enough. The directions on the box were too vague. I wish that someone would have told me about the helium tanks construction.

The valves on the type of tanks being talked about here are not of very high quality..after all the are only designed for one time use. I would think it best to replace your stored tanks at least once each year. The tanks are cheap, and better safe than sorry when the time comes to use them.
