Unlocated substantial air leak. It is not a hole in the tank, but possible line from compressor to tank, or from tank to hose. Female hose connection on compressor is not the problem, it is somewhere inside the black plastic cover. Is there a typical pressure failure spot on this product? Thank you very much for your help. Keith

SOURCE: wont pressure up

Most likely your portercable piston ring/seal broke. Its not hard to fix if you are mechanically inclined. See portercable site for rebuild kit.

SOURCE: no air pressure thru quick connect to tools-bag regulator?

I dont know if it is like mine,but if you can let the air out of it and remove the regulator knob,and it`s components,you may can set it to just to be open all the time,in other words,by pass the control knob valve.Shout back at me if I can help.

SOURCE: I have a pancake compressor that won't hold air

If you replaced the head gasket then its probably the valve plate and gasket.

Wont build up air.What could be the problem
leaking pressure hose from cilinder to tank leak pressure switch a dirty check valve on the tank open it and look for a smooth clean rubber valve that can free move and no metal pieces in it if that is there found then a part in the hose line or membrane plates are broken , if you have a dry(oilless) compressor the piston ring and cylinder may be worn.
Several possibilitys depends on models The pressure reducing valve can also be faulty leaking drain at the bottom of the tank leaking the safety valve must be good closed and also the little pressure release unit the small black hose oft in many models in the pressure switch must be closed by start there can also some dirt comes in. .that it will not close and then its continu blow of normal you can hear that it closed by starting and always release the pressure air for the next start .

My 20 gallon campbell hausfeld wont hold air.what could be the problem
Joe:

There is an air leak somewhere in either the tank connections or the hose connections. Look at the tank and find the tube that runs from the top of the compressor to the tank (usually a brass line). grab a spray bottle and fill it with a soapy solution (dish washing soap and water is fine). Disconnect the rubber air hose from the tank (at the quick disconnect) and start the compressor. Spray the dishwashing solution on the brass line end fittings at the compressor head and the tank connection, and the quick disconnect fitting and where the quick disconnect connects to the air tank. If you see bubbles being blown, that is where your leak is. Also connect the hose to the tank and check your hose for leaks with the soapy solution. Once you find where the leak is, you can tighten the fitting or replace the faulty gasket or hose.

Air leaking from holes in oil filler plug
There's a check valve in the air line between the compressor and tank that sounds like it's failed.

Compressor pumps up fine but then leaks air just below the relief valve. out of a small factory hole in a brass fittting and goe down till compressor starts again.
When the unloader leaks as you describe indicates that the check valve is leaking. Easy to check the condition of the valve. Follow air discharge line from compressor head to tank. The brass or steel fitting that threads into tank is the checkvalve. Remove all air from tank and remove large inspection cap to reveal the teflon seat. If it is cracked or swollen you will need to replace the valve. Parts available at www.toolpartsdirect.com Good luck

Air leaks out of the small hole in the middle of the head while the compressor is running and continues after it is shut off until the tank is empty.
This is probably the check valve in the tank not seating.
If you follow the main line from the compressor to the tank the check valve is at the end of this hose.
This is reference # 11 on your parts diagram.

I have a Central Pneumatic, 21 Gallon, 3HP air compressor. The compressor is exiting air through exthaust port.
If air leaks when motor is off, fault most likely in-tank check valve. Follow discharge air line from pump to tank. Brass/steel valve at tank is the check valve. Remove hose to valve and check for leak. Replace as needed. If air is leaking while motor is running fault could be reed valves in head. Faulty reed valves in head, or torn head gaskets will cause very hot discharge air and tank will most likely never fill to shut off (or take a very long time to fill)

3gal. aircompressor - craftsman model #921153101
This problem is not uncommon with small compressors and the inexpensive plastic regulators they use nowadays. The one surefire way to stop it is ti install in in-line valve before the regulator outlet, even if it involves the double ended & threaded brass soupler so they both fit on. This way you can just turn the handles across the line effectively shutting off air flow. I have two pancake compressors and ended up doing the very thing.

Then when time comes to hook up a hose and tool, just switch the handle back and you have air.
