Apparently I have a pressure release valve, that does want to hold any air at all... Anyone got an extra I could buy? I know I can get one at OBK for 5 bucks, so no big deal either way..

have you checked to see if the bottom of yours is missing the rubber part? i've had a few that have come off on mine. Also, i find some vaseline seals up a bit better if you haven't tried that yet.

DandyMason

It has the rubber part, but Ill try vaseline. I cant really figure out why it wont keep a seal

Jmac00

even some teflon tape around the threads might help before screwing it back in.

DandyMason

Thats not a bad idea... I think ill try thsat

Try stretching the coils of the spring apart with a pair of needle-nose pliers.
