Low Bottle Pressure........
hey quick question. I only had my Dynotune Kit on the car for about 6-7 months now. I had the bottle filled twice since the install. The first time i had it filled, the gauge read a little over 9000 psi. Then i just recently, within the last two weeks had it filled again and now when i open it, it reads only 5000-6000 on the gauge. Have a remote bottle opener just in case any one cares. I dont think that i have any leaks, but i am going to check. I also know that getting a heater will increase the pressure but i fig'ed that between Panama City and Houston, the temp is the same.....Warm. Any comments welcome. Thanks

From what I have seen, a full bottle in 40-50 degree F is about 600 PSI. I live up North so a Bottle heater is must. The DynoTune Heater is what I am running, and it works great.
If you spray and the Bottle pressure is low (600 PSI) you will run rich, this is better than running lean. A heater will put the bottle pressure where you need it this time of year.
