What to do if my Husky 80-GALLON STATIONARY tank doesn't hold pressure?
- K
  Kara JamesAug 19, 2025
  If your Husky Air Compressor tank isn't holding pressure when it's off, and the shut-off valve is closed: * Listen for escaping air and apply a soap solution to all fittings and connections. If bubbles appear, tighten or replace the leaking parts, using pipe thread sealant. * If that doesn't solve the issue, replace the check valve. * As a last resort, replace the tank. Never try to repair a damaged tank.
