I notice that the pressure is up to about 500PSI when the pumps high pressure switch cut them off.
So the tank has a 50.6Lb tare weight, and 92.5Lb Water Content weight.
80% of 92.5lbs is 74Lbs of tane.
so when full to 80% the tank would weigh 124.6Lbs
I stop my tapping and pull the tank out of it's freezer and weigh it... it weighs 107Lbs.
107.1Lbs - 50.6Lbs = 56.5Lbs of tane in the tank.
While it's out of the freezer and warming up I hear a hissing noise, only to find that the safety valve is starting to release pressure as it warms up.
Also if I crack the vapor valve liquid sprays out.
but I can see from the frostline, and the weight that the tank is well within it's safe limits and nowhere near full.
so why is the pressure so high?
why is the safety valve going off and releasing pressure as it warms up?
Why is liquid coming out of the vapor valve if I crack it open when the tank is only halfway full??
