Default is this normal? think im leaking nitrous...

ok i got my kit hooked up but i havent sparayed yet..anyways i hooked up my bottle which is completely full and i opened up the valve to check for leaks..i had no leaks..anyways the pressure gauge was showing like 750 or sumin..i cant remember..i shut the valve off and parked the car for the night..the next day i go to drive the car and the gauge shows like 25lbs..is this normal? i figured it would hold the pressure in the line or am i wrong? thanks

With the bottle closed and the solenoid closed any nitrous that is left in the line will disapate (spelling?) due to the teflon of the line being poruous. So yea, it's normal.

It does that on mine also but now I always purge the rest out of the line before it sits to try and keep that pressure off the nitrous solonoid!
