I don't go for 500 PSI just 250 or 260. Let that sit for a few hours and if it does not drop no leaks likely. The bottle has over 2,000 psi in it. The regulator lets me dial in any pressure I want. I use the same bottle to fill my tires with nitrogen. The regulator goes from 50 to 600 psi. I see no reason to put more than 260 in the system.
