over fill a low pressure steel tank?

[Wookie]

had enough blow to realize they're stupid?

Nope, just enough to replace them every 5 years....

I've seen two burst disks fail. That was enough for me to figure out they're dumb.

No comment and ignoring this thread... Guess some Know way more than the designers and the agencies that set the standards...

When the compressor stalls.....The tank is full! Been over filling an OMS/Faber 108 to 3500-4000PSI since 1995. has passed Hydro every time. When OMS started carrying Faber tanks in the 90's they even had an overfill chart about what the capacities would be at certain pressures. That chart disappeared after a while.

I think everyone with a head on their shoulders knows overfilling lp cylinders is fine and doesn't shorten the life of the tank.

Speaking of burst disks going.....I stopped by my LSD (before compressor early 90's) to fill an old 13 pony (2015 psi). They didn't check the pressure and filled it to 3000psi. They advised me about a recall on my regulator, and they could take care of it that night if I brought it in. So I tossed (ok placed) the pony on the front passenger floor and drove home. Mind you now it's January and I have the heat on. Get home get the reg and drive back. The road to the LSD parallels the railroad. Just as the train comes screaming by, the burst disk let's go. For a second I thought the train derailed. Scared the crap out of me. To this day when I drive that road I remember the exact spot it happened.

Could be because of all that LSD ?
