My compressor leaks down over several days. If I'm not actively using it I shut off the breaker but it is a big energy waster.
I have checked all the fittings with soapy water and can't find any leaks. The pressure is escaping somewhere. Is there
a valve where the pressureized air enters the tank that leaks back into the compressor head maybe? It's a Sanborn 5hp 220V 80 gallon
compressor, about 15 years old. This condition seems to gradually occured over the last year or so.
