I usually check the pressures at Costco and it is generally uneventful. Today after checking/filling 3 of the tires, the air supply hose started pulsing high pressure bursts of gas. I called a worker who came over (by now the pulsing had ceased, perhaps because he had done something?) who said I should just
hold the hose gently against the tire valve and not press and slide that locking ring for a more secure connection.
In the past I have found that if I disconnect immediately when the beeping starts (indicating setpoint has been reached) the tire pressure (measured by
my gauge) can vary by 1 psi so I have tended to keep the connection for a few seconds longer. Can this longer connection have caused the pulsing (it never has in the past)? If you fill w/o the sliding locking ring activated, are the tkre pressures reliable and at set point?
