I have come to the conclusion that I need to increase my magnetic force. Tried with a couple of plastic cups and it worked until I filled them with water.

What should be the average pressure reading on a high pressure gauge read when your tank is stored in the refrigerator with your keg? I am about 4 beers deep on my first keg and showing around 600psi. I was around 800psi at room temp after getting my tank filled.

Got the new gauge and it is working.
