Default Bottle heater on.......pressure not rising

First time using N20/bottle heaters...... I've had my Dynotune bottle heater on my 15lb bottle for 20 minutes and the pressure isn't rising. WTF? The pad is warm to the touch, but the pressure isn't changing.

What the hell?

How warm is it? How much N20 is in the bottle?

If you don't have much N20 in the bottle it will take a lot longer to build pressure, it may also not get very high at all.


Do you have a test light?

If so, disconnect your ground from the heater, hook one end of the test light to that (Preferbly a meter) and the other enc of the test light to ground and have someone tirn on the relay. Do you have power for sure?

Ok, found the problem. I had 2 nasty leaks (good idea to tripple check, LOL), and the bottle wasn't "completley" on. That fixed it.
