Check the o ring. BCA gives you a spare when you purchase.
I’ve replaced that o ring a few times. It looks to me more like it’s leaking near the gauge but it’s hard to see with the plastic shield on. I haven’t dared to pull the hose coupler off to remove the shield with it full of air even though it should be post valve.

Mine develop a leak too. Sent to bca and replaced for free. The bottle was 4 or 5 years old. Replaced no questions. BCA has great customer service. However I now have a klim bag and I won't go back to a tank ever again.

On the annual discharge-- I set mine off when I quit at the end of the year, and store with the bag loosely folded, instead of packed and compressed. I think I picked that up from BCA as a suggestion. Sort of like not storing your compressed sleeping bag-- they last longer.

Good to know. Ya tight folded corners can get compromised with fabric.
