SOLUTION
Close petcock
Check fittings with soapy water. Tighten or reseal leaking fittings.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Clean or replace air filter element.
Decrease amount of air used.

pressure supplied by compressor, you need a larger compressor.
Most accessories are rated at 25% of actual CFM while running
continuously.
Remove and clean or replace.
Check and replace if necessary.
