Max-flow issue.

[tolley]

I'm gonna ask this here because I'm not getting anywhere on any Impulse forums and I know you guys know your stuff.

I have an older style max-flo reg. that will creep up an extra 40-50 psi if I fill a HP bottle while still on the marker. Is this normal, should I just take the bottle off every time, or is there a problem. It blows out the pressure relief for a second til' it comes back down.

Also, I notice it says "SHOCKER" written on one end of the reg. body. Does that mean that it has different internals than if it was to have come on an Impulse. I'm using it on an Impulse.

I have a older maxflo also , also says shocker on it , So you are saying that the gauge goes up 40 -50 psi when yopu have the tank mountedon a marker with the tank on on?
If so it is not a problem , the tank wont blow , its probally the air that is is the reg and maco or steel line ..

Problem: Regulator leaks out of the top of the spring cap. OR Output pressure slowly climbs above set pressure.

Solution: Clean base seal o-ring [46] and poppet seal o-ring [233]. Reassemble without lubricant
