Re: losing air pressure

take out each fitting, clean the threads (carefully) and wrap with one layer of teflon tape - make sure you don't cover the end - then re-install each fitting. use a wrench and make sure they are tight.

Also, be sure your tube ends are cut straight and pushed all of the way in.

With a tight system, you should be able to go for 30 minutes or more and only lose 5 -- 10 psi.
