Spending the day in KiCAD playing around with a couple of projects I'm about ready to order boards for and one I'm going to get the basics sorted for a quote.
I am fortunate to have too many people in my life for me to reasonably text them all so I'm going to say it here:
Here's to another year having such wonderful friends like you in my life!
@bradanlane I don't remember to check for water often enough.
Did that fix it? Yes! The tank now holds more pressure than the output line of the regulator as you can see on these gauges. The left one shows Tank Pressure and the right one shows Output Pressure (150 PSI versus ~90 PSI)
A bit of elbow grease and some machine lubricant and the corrosion has been removed. The mechanism now moves smoothly and the fitting is ready to be put back in:
Let's gently open that up and see what we see inside; looks like there's some corrosion in there:
Here's the core of the regulator and we can see the spring is compressed and the piston cannot move. Odds are good this is the problem:
My air compressor regulator has stopped holding pressure correctly; the primary symptom is that the regulator leaks and the tank never reaches the cut-off pressure of 150+ PSI and instead leaks at whatever pressure the regulator is set to.
Let's take it apart and see if we can figure out what went wrong:

One of the hardest things in life is realizing your loyalty to a person or organization is one-sided. If you feel you were loyal and got played, what role did you play? Often, one-sided loyalty is rooted in people-pleasing, low self-worth, etc. There’s nothing wrong with being loyal. The problem is toxic patterns where you are always left feeling victimized. What can you change? #Loyalty #Boundaries #BlackMastodon #Codependency #SelfCare #MentalHealth #Relationships #Balance #RadicalSelfCare

The world is grim and things feel hopeless, but there's a cat squeaky-snoring like a leaky balloon by my side, and in this darkness I am grateful for that light.
@Nonya_Bidniss fortunately I can fix all the things!
