Gas inlet for the fuel rail. (1/2" > 3/4")
Priming the PVC before color coating
Making the internal chamber for the igniter airtight. The black thingy, is the fan connected to the mixing pipe.

Got MAP today
But i think the pressure seems a bit high, what is normal psi / bar in the new map cans ?
The propane was at about 9.5 bar.

i dont think so, i never load the cannon horisontal.
later on the day i bottomed out the gauge..... put a wet towel on the tank.. and it dropped to 11bar... i never let the tank stand in direct sunlingt, its just to hot in norway these days i guess
at least there was no boiling sounds in the tank
