Finally getting around to getting the shed unpacked for the season. Both my Cub and Super A each had a soft rear tire, so I grabbed my trusty 8-year-old Harbor Freight 2 gallon portable air compressor, plugged it in, and let it build pressure.
It got about half pumped up, when suddenly both gauges dropped to zero and it would no longer build pressure.
I fiddled with it, and it started building pressure again. When it got half pumped up again, both gauges again dropped to zero.
There's no pressure in the tank. I opened the drain on the bottom and there's nothing there but a little puff of nothing.
I don't hear any air leaking, and I did not hear a sudden WHOOSH when the gauges dropped to zero. The air was just... gone.
I don't see any obvious leaks or splits in the tank. It's very easy to inspect as it only weighs 5lbs.
