Thank for the quick reply’s! I’ve tested Emu’s suggestion filling only to 248bar and the result was the same. Both gauges run parallel to each other and only after 5 blank shots the regulators pressure is decompressed to its correct value. (the pressure in the air tube decreased 25 bar).
After that I emptied the rifle below 50bar and did a second fill to 300 bar. Same result, but it took only 2 bank shots to get the correct pressure on the regulator. (the pressure in the air tube lost only 10 bar).
(Once it's filled and the regulators set, I didn't noticing any creep overnight)
So, I’m wondering (and I know this is a newbie question), shouldn’t the regulator stop at it’s set value (100bar) during a new fill. Or is it normal it runs parallel to the maintank and you have to decompress it manually?
Hi Mate, if the reg is matching the bottle pressure it means one of the o rings failed. It should not be a big issue.
