    Some one post a short time ago about bringing a Euro tank and no dot and filling ?. Seems if they produced Fdogs article it would be a valid for filling to us fill pressure.

    Self justification is a beautiful thing. Still cutting the OPV knobs off your wings because of perceived entanglement hazards?
    If no one reinvented the wheel we'd still be driving around on stone wheels.

    Before it turns into a mudfest I'm signing off. As much as we may disagree on this issue I believe we all have a right to our opinions.

    I've said my piece.

    Cheers.

    Seems like they are respecting the designing engineers safety recommendations as they are observed in Europe, and not the US DOT's 'dumbed-down' version.

    I've had enough burst discs blow to think that maybe we are smarter than they are. YMMV. I don't use European dentists anymore, either. Ours are just better.
