If your compressor is running and running and you don't get to 120 PSI, here are three most likely causes:

1. Air is leaking from a fitting.
2. Your pressure regulator is installed backward causing air to leak.
3. I know you think you checked but, trust me, air is leaking from a fitting.

pV = nRT
