If you can't figure it out, instead of taking a wrench to the knob slowly unscrew the gauge until the pressure starts to bleed down.

Cave Diver, thanks for the help. The gauge is like the one you posted but yoke style. It does not have a distinct bleed off like the DIN. I did turn off the air supply from the tank.
I think I'm going to just take a wrench to it.
This why I love scubaboard. Thank you. There is a release valve on the collar. You twist to bleed off.
It took some force with one of those "I stripped the nut" vise grips. Hahaha! Light up the thread with your
Dirty euphemisms!
I have a question that might be too obvious but I can't figure it out, why use a separate pressure gauge to check the tank pressure while you can use your regulator and gauge ? Is there an advantage to use a stand alone gauge or is it better for the regulator ?

May be my confusion is that the normal trend here in Egypt is that tanks are always rented and you see them for the first time on the boat, hence it is the obvious choice to use the reg, you are connecting it anyway
thanks
