Thats strange because my tanks are kept in the same temp range (70-73). They are kept in the living room where the fish tank is and it is a temp controlled environment.

Variable with the temperature in the place that the tank is placed in, not just temperature.

If I stuck the tank in a room in a hot desert, but the room was airconditioned to 70 degrees, the tank would not have an abnormally high pressure.
If I stuck the tank in a room in a place like Antarctica, but the room was heated to 70 degrees, the tank would not have an abnormally low pressure.

Agreed. So what would cause his paintball tanks to read a lower pressure than mine?

The amount that the filling guys decide to fill it?
