Default Bottle won't get over 700lbs???

I went to the track this weekend, and it was MIGHTY COLD 40 something degrees. We ran the car and the bottle heater for about 30 min. and still couldn't get the preasure above 700lbs. Is there something wrong? This caused me to miss my chance to either bust or bust into the 10's.

700 psi? bottle empty? if its got less than 2 pounds or so in it that might be as high as you can get it...weigh it, you might have a small leak...

I filled two bottles before I hit the track, and it was like that on both.

edit: Just weighted bottle #1 it weighted 22lbs roughly, and we probably wasted at least 2lbs purging, and swapping bottles. Did I get a crappy fill, or was it just THAT cold?

Bottle was getting pretty hot, it was installed correctly that I'm sure of.

What kind of heater are you using? I have been to the track when it was in the 40's, turned the NOS heater on about an hour before I started and it was 1100 psi for the rest of the night.
