I was wondering, in the air forum FAQ it says an anti-siphon tube can be installed inside a CO2 tank's pin valve, but if I have a CO2 tank with a Smart Parts on/off valve do I still need an anti-siphon and can it still be installed?

Probably take it to your local paintball shop, or send it off to smart parts (dunno if they do it though). They'll take off your valve and put in the anti-siphon, mark the bottle, and replace the on/off. Might be an idea to get a filter as well to clean out the dirty, dirty Co2. :)

Simple.

I installed my own.

1. Mark the top of the tank when it's screwed into your gun. This is the way you know what direction to bend your Anti-Siphon tube.
2. Find a good work area with a heating device, locktite, a vice and something to put between the tank and vice.
3. Heat the tank.
4. Remove the pin valve assembly.
5. Attach the Anti-Siphon.
6. Locktite your threads and reassemble.

It's alot easier than it sounds but if your not confident then get someone else to do it.

dispite wut MINDofSIN said if you need to ask this don't INSTALL THIS YOURSELF(unless u wanna loose some limbs). GO to an airsmith. And MINDofSIN dont go around given advice w/o given the whole story. ill point off one mistake U need to empty ure tank. Not to flame just its a horible thing wut bad advice can do
