Is your N2O gauge inaccurate? I have the Autometer regular nitrous gauge in my gauge pod. Its hooked up right after the bottle nipple with my other N2O gauge that I got with the kit (inline gauge) and the my NX warmer control. When the inline gauge reads ~1000 psi, the gauge up front only reads ~800 psi <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> Are they all this inaccurate? Which do I believe?

Re: Is your N2O gauge inaccurate? They are pretty crappy gauges. Tap it and you will see the pressure jump up to near correct levels. I even returned the gauge and got a new one. But this one is the exact same. I wonder if the electronic gauges from NX express are more accurate?

Re: Is your N2O gauge inaccurate? That was my next move also. I dont like how the gauge half hangs out of the pod because of the -4 line running up the pillar. I dont know why they give you a restrictor to put in the line also, but that probably half my problem because when I heat the bottle up to where the front gauge says 1000 psi, the bottle may be at 1200+ psi. Not good on a wet kit.
