Co2 dumping from regulator

Have a problem with my co2 regulator.
It starts to dump air from the pressure relief valve at only 2 bar.
Is this a problem with the regulator or is the tank too low? It does feel quite light although not empty.
If its the gas empty problem does anyone know if aj edge in bray opens on a saturday?

Thanks in advance.

They are closed from 3 on Friday until Monday morning
Disconnect gas
Pull spring in blow off valves a few times in attempt to reset it
open reg fully and close fully a couple of times.
Reconnect

Have you ever had beer flush back up it at any stage?
Could also be that your reg is reading incorrectly
Where and when did you buy it?

Sounds like the blow off valve is malfunctioning. I have a spare reg if your stuck. Will be in dub city centre tomorrow eve

Sorry guys been on Holiday and missed your replies until now.
I have had a small amount of beer travel up the gas pipe but didn't think it reached the regulator. Have already tried the resetting
of the blow off valve but to no avail. The pressure clock needle was on the wrong side of the stop pin so I replaced the clock only.
Have I got a more sinister problem?
