Re: [APML] Hypering psi?

Thanks Bert.  This is definitely bad news.  If in fact it is a leak,
it must be either the o-ring or the chamber valve.  Neither of
which would seem to be an easy fix!  I guess we'll see...
In the meantime, I went ahead and
gassed out again and refilled the tank to about 6psi.
Hopefully, positive pressure will hold for the remainder of the process.
