    Holding tanks don't maintain pressure, pressure tanks do. The only pressure in a holding tank is determined at the base by the height of the water in the tank. This is called "head pressure" and you determine that by multiplying the height of the water in the tank by 0.4335. Or simply 0.434.
    Sounds like you may have a problem. Want to share? Tom
