Don’t worry, I can edit that for ya. 😊
Don’t quote me but I think I read somewhere that the tanks can only build up to 11 or 13 PSI max before the safety valve on them opens. The length of the hose might also play a role to in how much pressure builds up in the tank. For example, if the hose was really short, like 6″, it might build up to the tanks release pressure. Myself, I use 12′ of hose and the tanks normally run around 4 – 5 PSI. This number would probably be higher if the tank is sitting under the hot sun instead of being in the shade.
