You might have a leak in the gun, or another one in the hose.

I don't know what you mean by having a "bad" tank, though.

ok if it is a screw in tank, cover the pin valve with your finger, also there should be a release hole, cover that. and stick it in water to see if it is leaking.

pbgear changed a fitting on mine to find out it was leaking from there on my old crossfire 68 4500.

to be safe i just dunked the whole thing in water to see if it was leakin anywhere

YOU ARE ALL SILLY when the air is compressed it is hot thats why your tank gets hot most of the time when tanks are filled the pressure is greater due to the heat when it cools it drop pressure thats why no leaky tank for you but if your worried hold it under water to check reg for leaks

I don't mean to be well, mean, but did you read his post? It said that he knows it settled. Which means he knows it goes down in pressure.

Now, as for the REAL problem- where exactly was it leaking from? Fill nipple? Pin valve? or elsewhere?
