Hi fellows,
Just a quick question, what was the rated pressure of the MK10 (The one with the yoke rated to 3000PSI) and at which pressure can i use it ?
Thanks
 
Thanks...
I asked that because i just got my MK10 and almost every time you got renting AL80 filled over 3500 PSI, so the 3000PSI on the MK10 scared me a little..... :D

So why does the 3000 on the regulator yoke scare you but not the 3000 (or 207) on the tank? If that yoke fails, it will leak with no danger. The tank, OTOH, may not be so forgiving. Then again, the filler lived thru the most dangerous portion of the overfill. But you may want to keep the tank cool and out of the sun.
 
Yes i was kinda scared the first time when i checked the AL80 at 3600PSI (lol)
So i should be ok with AL or LP...
I am not planning going on HP anyways...
Thanks a lot
