Your welcome Sir Hope it helps you out my friend. Where in New Hampshire are you?I am in Mass Dave
This also happened to my Sumatra. I got my compressor going and basted a few shots of air into the check valve. That cleared up whatever caused it to leak and all has been fine ever since. Perhaps it was dust or a tweaked valve. May not be your problem but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Im only filling to 1900psi too, may be low to shut down a stuck valve??? Need to fill tanks.
Under magnificatio, saw something in the hole. There was an oring that had split and in lengthwise. Pulled it out but still same issue. Maybe it permanently damaged? Is there supposed to be an oring on the foster side of that check valve?
Thanks William, yes I do beleive they are the same interna for the most part. I agree, after I took of that foster amd realized it is nothing but a fill hole, its the check valve. It actually unscrews now when I loosen the foster if I dont secure it so I can at least get it off without a spanner wrench. Getting there! Ive shot it when it had the slow leak, and really like this rig so I hope to get it up to par soon.

Havent had my Sumatra fill valve off yet but, I did put one on my Sam Yang and the male foster fitting came with an Oring to make it seal. If it is like the Sam Yang the check valve is actually in the part that you screw the male foster fitting into. But I am not 100% sure so lets look up a schematic for the Sumatra.Here is the Male foster fitting on PA with Oring, this is the same one I put on my Sam Yang and it fits the Sumatra. If I am correct the the check valve is in the part that the foster screws into... https://www.pyramydair.com/product/quick-disconnect-male-fitting-o-ring?a=2841I dont believe your Foster fitting is what is leaking its the check valve below it! The foster if I am correct does not have a check valve it that type, it is just open all the way through to all air into the gun.It could be a piece from torn Oring from the foster fitting got pushed into the check valve and is causing it not to seal or the Oring is torn on the check valve, if you pull it apart make sure you drain all the air out.William
