empty bottles
I was installing a bottle heater and remote gage on the bike and after testing ,found 0 press.I might of left it cracked open a bit, so I take my spare bottle and find thats empty.I haven't touched it since it was filled a couple of months ago.I hate to try the 20lb. one.They were both pressure tested at the begining of the year.Is this normal?I just don't understand how both could have a leak.
____________
I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Bottles have a safety seal that can blow when pressure goes to high.
If you filled them and left them in a hot place they probably blew.
It happens all the time when guys fill their bottles at lunch and leave them in the car.
Let us know.

I don't know about the seal,I filled it up and had about 750lbs. in it when I sent it off to be mapped.

Try to refill them,
If the hold then give the the soapy water test when you get home.
This will show if and where you have a leak.
