I’m not sure what you mean by “m” series, is this a pst tank? Or asahi?@lexvil , reading through my response made my think of a question that I’m surprised I hadn’t thought of before. Is the M series either top or butt heavy? At -14.7 pounds of buoyancy it would seem that either one might cause what I’m experiencing. I may be completely wrong, and I won’t be able to verify it for awhile due to the cold weather, but now I’m curious.
