Default Word of advice: zip tie or tie the p.tester to the y-pipe when testing. It can pop off with amazing
force at low pressure. Very dangerous to be hit by it!!

Default I had it at 20 lbs once and as I walked up to the car "boom" flies off and lands a good 10 feet
off on the drive way. If someone was near (my 8 yo son) I could have hurt someone. I use the monster zip ties for now on.
