Well like all my projects they take a lot longer then I would like.. anyway I’m finally in a place to be able to play a little.

I hacked into the system today.. it was a cap tube system so I removed that and added a needle valve of sorts. Vacuumed the system down checked for leaks and so on.. so I start filling it up with bbq gas and I can’t get the high side to go high and the low side to go low. As I turn the needle valve from one extreme to the other the pressures never do what the are supposed to do. I can hear the gas in the system. But I felt I reached a point where I couldn’t put more gas in (around 130psi) because it was no longer sucking it from the propane tank..

Thoughts?t

LOL I’m an idiot.. I figured it out. In my hast to work on it I wasn’t really paying attention to the way I hooked up the gauges.. and well I put the high side on the low side and obviously low side to high side..grrrr o well I’ll mess with it more tomorrow
