Re: Pressure gauge venting

If you fill your tanks to 120, how low will the leak go?
Is the regulator plumbed backwards? There should be an arrow on it indicating the direction of flow (high to low). If its backwards it will blow off any pressure above what its set for.

If its a constant leak that drains the main tanks down to 0psi, get a piece of pneumatic tubing or rubber hose. Put one end up yo your ear and move the other end around all the fittings. You will be able to hear a loud hiss when you've found the leak. Make sure the area is quiet while you are doing this, and make sure the robot is disabled. You don't want someone changing the position of a valve while you haveathe hose near it...
