<p class="MsoNormal">FWIW, those little hand held tire pressure testers are also all over the map on accuracy. My tool boxes had several gauges in them, auction accumulations mostly. Couple of years ago I went thru them all and found a few that were pretty
close to the same pressure reading and consistent with my vehicle tire sensors. I threw the others away.

<p class="MsoNormal">I have the exact opposite problem (but probably same root cause) with my water well pressure switch. Every once in a blue moon it will fail to cut the pump on when the pressure drops below it’s rated psi. All I have to do is cut the power,
run a little emery cloth over the points, and then all is well for another long while.
<br>
<br>
PS: Cut the power first! <br>

see if any are contributing such as low compressor oil, plugged intake filter or a leaking outlet line and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestions.<br>
