Air Pressure Problem
Tom,

I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. This cylinder is
virtical, at the bottom below the cylinder itself is what I assume is the purge
valve. It has what I think is an air line going into it and also an electrical
lead. The three screws attach the leaking cap and three bolts attach the lower
part (pruge valve) I think to the cylinder. I don't see four screws anywhere.
Do you think it is the same thing maybe just a different mounting arrangement?

Still the same fix as the first time you asked back in March. Remove the
complete purge valve from the bottom and get a new kit and replace it. See
below the last time I posted this.
