I manged to scored a 20 lb. CO2 tank, filled, with regulator for $25 yesterday. The regulator that reads the tank capacity was damaged. The casing had no glass, the side was dented in causing the dial and needle to also be bent. I carefully worked everything back in to place and opened up the spigot. The needle goes up to just over 800 psi. So, it reacts to releasing pressure and adding it. I just don't know if it's accurate.
My question is, is there a way to test whether this dial is shot? I hate to replace it if it still works.
If I need to replace it would something like this (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=98892) be a suitable replacement? I really know nothing about harbor freight products except to say I have one within eyeshot from where I now sit and can have this today.
Thanks in advance for the help.
