The reason for suggesting raising the pressure is that the OP is using, IIRC,
42 psi as the cut-on pressure, which means that he needs somewhere around 40
psi precharge.

Yes, the pump cuts on at 42 PSI, according to the gauge in the water
line. If I put my tire gauge on the air at the top of the tank, it
shows 46PSI. Should I lower that to 40?

So what I need to know is if the precharge pressure should be measured
with the tank empty or with water in it (assuming that the bladder has
burst). If I pump it up to 40PSI w/o water, the air pressure is going
to be very high after water is pumped in.
