Anyone ever heard of an Accusump exploding? I brought my TR4 to the TX ABCD yesterday, and it sat in the sun all day. The gauge showed 80psi when I parked it. It is black annodised aluminum tubing and it blew open on one end. What a mess! I'm no physicist, but pressure rises as temp goes up. The rest is history. Luckily it exploded during the awards and only 2 people were nearby to get sprayed. Next time, I'll leave the valve open. Bob Kramer |
