Kinda doubt that--the reason cylinders have the same reading when there's a 
gasket leaking between them is because the 
pressures are equalizing through leakage. If that were the case, the wet 
readings on 5 & 6 would be close to the same, 
too, but they're not.

Cheers.

Never let anyone drive you crazy when you know it's within walking distance.
