smoking 392

["Kerry Pinkerton" <pinkertonk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Never had that problem.  I just plug it into the air hose and the pressure
goes to my tank pressure of 150psi.  If it leaked down some the compressor
would kick it.  If the compressor won't hold it there would be a SERIOUS
problem in the cylinder.
