Tuning Removing the air tank without degassing the plenum - Issue???

[Gear_Junkie]

I mistakenly left the bottle off a RAW without degassing the plenum. It sat in this state for about a week. When I reattached the bottle, all seemed well and the pressue gauge popped right back up to the same pressure as when I removed the bottle. But the next day, the gauge read totally empty. It's a fairly new o-ring on the bottle and reg, so it's not that. Is it possible that I damaged something inside the reg?

Thanks.

What happened next? When the gauge read empty, had the bottle drained? If so, the bottle didn't seal.

I doubt you hurt the raw reg at all they are tough

Yes, the bottle was totally drained. I'll change the bottle seal and see if that fixes the leak.

Thank you!

Yup, those bottle to reg O-rings are the weak link if taking pressurized bottles on/off
90 duro rings will help a lot !!
