Got my tank back from hydro, went and played and before i left got my tank filled to about 4k.

week or so later i get it out and it's down to 1500psi. So i get it filled today back to about 4250 and while driving back home i look at it and it's down again. It was leaking about 250 psi every 30 minutes or so and started slowing down as less and less air was in it.


I used Army's suggestion of soapbubbles to find the leak and found it to be coming out of the little burst disk screw ( i think thats what it is). Anyway...do you think i could just tighten this up and it'll fix the leak? Also if i were to take it out, would i have to loctite or would teflon tape do the trick?

i'm not really sure what all is in there.

Empty the tank, tighten it and then while getting it filled ask the guy if he can test it first before he fills it all the way.
