Default HSW Bottle leaking

My 10lb HSW nitrous bottle seems to be leaking. I guess the valve isnt closing off all the way as I have lost 2 full bottles . The last one was reading pressure but ran dry before i made one pass at the track and gas fouled the plugs in the motor. Barely made it back to the pits. does anybody know who changes those valves out or can check them/replace them?? I got the bottle with my HSW plate kit when i bought it.

Maybe they would warranty it???

Get a 5 gallon bucket of water or something of that type and submerge the valve area to see if its actually the valve or one of your fittings first (if you have any)

Does it have accessory ports on the bottle?

Like one of the posters above my pressure gauge was leaking and therefore my bottles was leaking.

Do what Cam said and submerge it into the bucket of clean water and see exactly where it is coming from,
