anyone else haul ISO tanks have an issue with not being able to pressorize the tank? There's no air leaking from the dome, blow off cap or the Chicago fitting, but I can't get the tank past 20 psi and I really need it at 30 to push the product to the storage tank.
I'm thinking the outlet valve is bad, but I honestly can't tell if the internal or external valve is bad.
I've been running compressor at 40 psi since 8 am (it's 4 pm now) and just can't seem to build any pressure.

I pull iso tanks occasionally ( when the tank sid3 is slow) and always been air offs
Even if you have 20 psi that shouldn't be taking that long, customers valve completely open?
How far is the product going?
There's not many places you can lose air on an iso -
I think air is escaping through the outlet or there's something going on with the customers tank. Seems this has happened before to another driver. Took 9 hours to offload, tank would only build to 12 psi. I'm sitting at 16 psi and can't get it any higher. I still have about 800 gal. -
What's 5he product
I had problems with Basf in Kankakee
Th3 cause was their pipes had build up of previous products drying and thickening inside their pipes and they knew all about it, they had no problem paying the dumurrge. -
I don't remember what the product is, but it did need to be heated above 120°. You may have a point with old product in the pipes.
