    Yes, the gauge on the tank regulator. It's adjustable, so it has two gauges, the output gauge and the 0-5000psi gauge. When I heard the tank venting I checked it out and all the air was coming out the center of the gauge, it started to get ice on it.

    I guess if the gauge was bad to begin with they could have over-filled it and then your "theory" would be pretty legit. I never saw the gauge read any higher than 4200, but again, if the gauge was bad who knows what it was really at.

    You say I need a new burst disk, but I don't think that's the case. The disk isn't in or behind the gauge is it? It's the little bold, nut, screw thingy sticking out the side of the reg, along with the two gauges and the fill nipple right? I just asked my roommate and he verified that all the air releasing from the tank was coming right out the middle of the busted gauge, until I screwed it into my ASA.

      sounds like an overfill to me i dropped using my angel air regulators because no matter how simply i explained to give it a slow fill (went so far as letting anyone else who needed air ahead of me)they would dump air and blow my valve.
      if the tank gauge was a bit sticky and it got a few 100-200 psi overfills it would wear out the burst disk
