propane meter

[iamthewalrus]

whould it be possible to make one of thoughs ball valve propane meters out of pvc instead of metal. because i want to make a propane combustions but i dont want to have the heavy metal.

sure, people use PVC propane meters on their cannons, just make sure its PW since you'll have up to 90 PSI going through it

ok thanks, i also have another question about propane meters. after u charge the meter and u close the first valve and open the second one to the chamber, what makes the propane going to the chamber and not have some stay in the meter??? or does some stay in the meter??

pressure makes it go into the chamber, i would guess that a little bit is left in the meter, though after the pressure is equalized it wouldnt make much of a difference, if you dont get a good mix at first play around with the pressure, i find that launchers can be very tempermental with pressures
