[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 776348, member: 22283"] Pete, Pressure is pressure. The guage does not rob pressure, it actually robs volume. Unless you were filling by volume your method doesn't hold up. If you charge to 170psi, then you will in fact have 170psi in the shock. Granted your guage will keep some of the nitrogen "volume" when disenguaged. The only way you will have less than 170 psi in the shock (if the guage at fill read 170lbs) is by what little bit would be lost when diconnecting the aparatus from the Schrader valve. ***after scratching my head and coming back to re-read your post, I see exactly what you are doing. What we both said is correct. I see now you were simply giving the procedure that would give you the proper pressure of what was in the shock prior to hooking up the apparatus. But unless you did this right out of the crate just for curiosity sake, I would think having a target pressure would be the best way to go. [/QUOTE]
