no tank pressure

I am getting around 100 psi on the regulated pressure gauge, but wont go above that, and the tank pressure gauge 0. Any ideas as to why regulated pressure wont go above 100 psi after turning knob,also why there is no tank pressure reading?

Craig, in order for your regulator to dial up to 100 PSI, there must be 100 PSI in the tank.

You can't dial the downstream pressure higher than the upstream pressure, it's not possible.

Therefore, based on what you have written, your tank gauge is broken, and your tank has 100 PSI in it.

If the cut out pressure was higher than 100 PSI before, you may have another issue.

I suggest you bleed the tank empty with the plug out, and swap the gauges between the regulator and tank, and then restart your air compressor to see what happens.

I'm sure folks would be interested in knowing too, so if you have time, could you post an update here?

Cheers,

Bill
