so I got 2000 psi in my tank and start firing it, barely even shot it much and its already at 1000, not even a pod shot through. All setting are bone stock as it is brand new, could it be cause of the tanks first fill? or iono im stumped. going out sunday and dont want to run out of air mid game

Did you mess with the LPR or dwell at all? I'd make sure everything's set to stock.

some tank gauges aren't accurate at all. One of mine sits at 1000 when its empty, and fills to 5000. Scares the shit outta whoever fills the tank haha

Well, to prove the tank, fill it up then dunk it under water and see if any bubbles come out

Your tank gauge may not be accurate.

You fill it till its full, the tank will stop taking air when it is full. Or replace the gauge, you could even put a smaller one on. Make sure your Etek isn't leaking too.

The tank will take air well past the 4.5k mark, the fill station will be what determines the pressure going into your tank and when it stops.

errrm...... WHAT!?! thats NOT right at all... you go off of the fill station gauge as previously stated, not the gauge on the tank for the exact reason that the tank gauge may not be accurate...

To the OP... go through and double check your guns pressures and reset the board to factory... if you want to leak check your tank just dunk the bonnet/reg in a sink or something similar

no no no no no no no no
your tank will take as much air as can be pumped into it by your fill station. your fill station restrictor determines when it will stop filling
