I have a dual compressor Elite-275XP which i believe is made by pointzero. I noticed that there is what appears to be an air pressure release opening that the Solenoid is wrapped around. The problem I am having is when I turn the damn thing on it fills the tank but once filled this valve kicks in immediately starts releasing air from the tank. The tank does not empty but the compressor then comes on to keep the pressure regulated to the assigned setting. It never did this before. If I set it to say 15 PSI and turned on the compressor it filled the tank then stopped. I could use my airbrush for a good few minutes before the pressure dropped in the tank and the compressor came back on. It never bled air from this valve. Now it does it all the time and the compressor is getting hot becuase its constantly having to come on.
Here's a picture of the issue. The solenoid is the black box which is hollow in the center through which a brass tube passes and which exits as shown in the picture.
Any help would be much appreciated.
