rite here is the back story:
me and a freind both have 3000psi presets (both about 850 output) and both born in 2003. One hads a pmi reg the other a crossfire.
last weekend we both went to a tourny and came bac with filled up bottles as per normal.
on thursday, in the middle of the night my freinds bottle decided to leak at a fair rate and had emptied itself after a few minutes and he noticed that it all seemed to be coming from the gauge. then today i noticed i had lost half my gas and heard a tiny hissing. As it turns out i am very slowly loosing pressure out of a small hole in the side of the gauge (a saftey precausion type thing i pressume) but i still have no reason why this is happening and how ironic it is that the two bottles should go near the same time.

Does anybody know why this is hapening or have you experienced it in the past. Also is it just a new gauge from planet eclipse all we need and how difficult are they to install?
thanks.

if it s a case of a new gauge then its very easy to fit. As long as your bottle is empty first (if its leaked then i pressume it is) all you need do is unscrew the old guage and screw your new one in, they normally come with ptf tape round them but if they dont mite be an idea to chuck some on there urself.
