[Shop-talk] Phantom air leak

[doug at dougbraun.com (Douglas Braun)]

I leak that big ought to be audible, at least with your ear close to
the source.  There aren't too many things it could be:  the main check
valve, the outlet valve, the drain valve, or the pressure gauge.

The outlet valve on my compressor is just a 3/4" ball valve from  Home
Depot.  It is about 5 years old and has given me no trouble.
