 My 2 cents... your main valve on the tank is likely bad.  A new tank will likely fix the issue.  I would remove the tank and get it checked first.  You can pay to have the valve replaced and re-certified or buy new.  I recently bought a tank on Amazon for much less than Catalina Direct.  I measured and was able to get a perfect fit.  Best of luck.
