As Shorty mentioned above, it may be that the tank has become loosened. If that occurs, the pinch valve may not work properly. Sometimes the tank can be banged or bumped and it'll loosen it up. Look to see if the tank appears loose. If so, that's likely the culprit.
Here's a simple fix if your tank is loose...
1. Remove the bracket from the handle.
2. Cut a section of bicycle inner tube rubber.
3. Place the rubber under the bracket.
4. Press downward on the tank as you retighten the bracket.
The addition of the rubber inner tube material will keep the tank seated properly and the pinch valve will work properly. And if by chance the pinch valve is malfunctioning, we have them in stock and can get one sent out to you.
