Also, if the tanks are not protected with a mechanical pressure relief valve can I easily install one?

Yes, I just walked out to the garage, there is a bung on the lower tank that has a three-way fitting, only two are being used, the third has a plug that could be unscrewed and your relief valve could go there. You may need some threaded pipe adaptor too reduce the size, an easy thing to source.

This is a storage tank only. The PSI will be at whatever you fill the tank up to , so NO you cannot set it to 20 psi without some kind of regulator.

Yes. You might have to wait for the tanks to build up pressure during a vehicle application.

No. The pressure is regulated by the escape valve, regardless of the presence of the gauge. So no need to worry. Just let the machine heat up and you'll be okay.

This unit comes already pressurized. If you have an older unit, just use a bicycle air pump to increase the pressure inside. If there is a leak in the bladder, only option is to replace the tank. Note that I am not an expert on this matter - just expressing opinion from my experience.....best regards.

No, once filled the tank is under too much pressure. You would need a hose that can handle 800+ psi.

I don't think so, this is a static system, I would think that the additional pressure would cause leaks.

Yes, that is what is for. It is a bit hard to plug it onto the fitting, and the small tank has to be removed - follow instrutions and you will be OK

Yes you can but make sure the bottom part of valve is ok if you buy them seperate it will cost you a lot more

No The pressure guage goes in the plumbing not in the tank. The tank is kind of like a capacitor and is connected on mine with a T off the main line and my guage is in the plumbing next to my pressure switch

No, the holding tank should be able to hold a fixed pressure +/- a few PSI for hours. Make sure you are using a thread locker to seal your connections.

I didn't have a good experience with this, but it was a water leak so there was some pressure. My concern about a gas tank is there will still be some pressure until the material it dries up and I don't know whether you'll be able to get a seal.

No, if you internal tank has a shut-off valve. Close the valve, install the tee as per instructions. I leave my main tank closed when using the external tank.

You can adjust the water pressure. At low pressure these won't be problematic.

I don't think so. My pressure gauge is installed on the pump motor inlet itself, not the tank. Hope this helps.

You might be able to. It's pretty tough. It is only rated from -10 to 180 degrees, so if it's really close to the muffler, it might be too hot for it for any extended amount of time. It is rated for shielding, so it should be ok. However, I don't think it's made for any type of pressure system (i.e. a pressurized pressure washer hose), but if you're trying to avoid buying a new hose, it might be an okay temporary fix if you put on several layers.

Nope... but you should not get one anyway. The failure rate is pretty high on them. My first one's valve failed. They sent me a new one which then developed about forty leaks due to deterioration from the air, I assume. They would NOT replace that one. It's effects are marginal also.
