So I've been running a propane heavy blend lately. Not used to the high psi's and not loving them (typically 120, as high as 150). I use 4' columns and have a 12' honey pot that I shoot over to. Can anyone tell me at what psi I should start panicking? Any need to change any equipment to accommodate the higher pressures (seals, hoses, etc?)?For sure I'm going to change the pressure release valves from the current 150 psi to 250 psi if anyone knows a good/cheap place to get them. Any insight towards safety in case I'm overlooking anything would be greatly appreciated.

propane psi danger

Your 12" 13MHP clamp is rated at 150psi at 70F.
I don't recommend changing the pressure reliefs to 250F.
GW, Are these PSI's normal for say, 100% propane? Why not the 250F pressure relief?
The clamp is only rated for 150 psi. It would fail before the PRV released.

Got it. I should have clarified. I was going to change the pressure relief on the columns; they are 4' by 4 ft long.
Is 120 -150F a safe operating range in the columns? Should I change the pressure relief valves on them? Thank you in advance?
