Had a guy ask me today, for a 100psi propane regulator. Now, I'm fairly smart, but I could not figure out what he was doing with it. He didn't give me a lot to go on, all I knew was we didn't have it. So....

 

Why does someone need 100psi out of propane?

To run a burner for a forge.

I use one in my powder coating oven but I never need that kind of pressure.

As long as I either - get to claim total loss and get all new E36 M3 or b- it doesn't affect me, I'm right there.

Whatever he is using it for, it's in a fairly warm environment, because 100psi comes at about 65*F.  Just a guess, but I figure his requirement is based off a fundamental misunderstanding of how propane works.

Or maybe its just me.

Perhaps he is building a jet-powered beer cooler.

Usually, when I need that much heat, I pull it straight off the bottle with no regulator.

I fear I am usually this guy when I go into the local Ace and have to ask for something.

Probably needs it to add more fuel to his diesel for the dyno pull.

He's dyslexic and wanted 10 psi?
