I just bought the PC 2 nailer gun combo kit with a 6 gal pancake
compressor. Is that motor noisy! But the tank stays at >90 psi for
hours and hours, if you don't use the gun. (Just as a test, I don't know
whether it is recommended to leave the tank alone that long).
Using this is far better than a hammer to put lots of nails in!

No.
Lest their not expensive to replace. Ratings should be marked on the valve.
If it's a new compressor they should replace the valve, or compressor (depends
on model and where bought) without a gripe.
Or you could try unseating and reseating the poppet.

Thanks, Mark. I unseated and reseated the valve (a tiny piece of dirt was
there) then it
is not leaking now.
Cheers,
Dennis.
