I also agree completely, with William here on the volume, the PSI is, or can
be misleading.
The ####s / lbs. pressure stated are NOT TO BE EXCEEDED.... as Shane has
mentioned, causing unhappy behavior to the floats.
As far has running on a insufficient, or a leaned out condition DURING,,, OR
HOLDING A HIGH REV........ I say don't HOLD HIGH till your sure you have
the VOLUME.
