malfunctioning pressure regulator
i have air leaking out of the pressure regulator knob area. There is a
little hole in the knob area where the brass nut fits in. It never use to leak. Also the tank does not recover nearly as fast as it use to. I cant even get one wheel off my car using an impact wrench. I never had a problem with that.It said don't turn the regulator knob when the guage reaches max pressure. I did so. Did this damage the regulator? How can i fix it? thank you. Bob |

Re-assemble. Problem solved. Bob |
