My old LDS had an "automatic" yoke tank pressure checker.
It was automatic because it didn't have a standard yoke fitting screw knob. You positioned the checker over a yoke tank valve and cracked open the valve. The air pressure escaping the tank pneumatically push-closed a piston on the back of the pressure checker where a screw knob would otherwise be. Once you read the pressure on the gauge, shut the tank valve and push the release valve on the checker and the piston releases. It is much faster than screwing/unscrewing yoke knobs.
Has anybody seen one of these or know where I can get one?
Thanks!
