Re: HPA tank help

Sounds like the reg needs to be rebuilt. Mine did the same thing. I am buying a Ninja Reg and having it installed.

Re: HPA tank help

I doubt the gauge is your problem.

Fill the tank to 3k, and let it sit for a week. If, by the end of the week, it is still holding air then it is definitely not a leak. I'd be willing to bet that your pressure drop is simply from a hot fill, nothing more.
