For those of you that have used the compressor to fill your tires, is there supposed to be a hissing sound when you connect the hoses before pressing the start button? It kinda sounds like the tire is supplying air to the system and it's leaking out from within the truck. If I disconnect the hose from the tire, the hissing stops. The other thing that makes me suspect a leak is that the PSI reading is consistently 5-6 PSI low. If I set the target pressure to 48, it stops when it says 48, but when I disconnect and check it with a separate gauge it's actually at 55. Tried multiple gauges including a milton pencil style and a fancy digital one.
To further troubleshoot, I used my own hose and a typical in-line inflator with gauge like this one: https://a.co/d/jhRtDk5 and when I'm holding the trigger (tire connected to system) it displays 48 when the compressor stops. However when I release the trigger (tire isolated from system) it jumps up to 55. I think it makes sense that it would read a lower pressure if there's a leak in the system. But I'm basing this on my experience with a typical compressor with a tank. I understand the onboard compressor is a tankless "inflator" and not really a compressor. Not really sure what to expect here.
Anyway, how does it work for you guys? Does yours sound like it's leaking with hoses attached and compressor off? Does your actual pressure match the target when you're done? Any help is appreciated!
