    Regulator went haywire on the compressor at my old high school. I walked by it and took a look at the gauge ****er was at 200psi. Cut the power to that sucker as fast as I could.

    That's pretty dangerous levels unless its a high pressure setup. My old dealership I worked at was equipped to around around 150 to 175. Pretty nice when you needed major torque with the impacts.
    No More GTP for me.

    Yeah our shop runs around 160-70 too. The school was not setup for any high pressure. Before the regulator ****ed up it would be around 110. That would be one hell of a bang if the tank blew. I never trusted that thing again. I have no idea about your car tho fish. Try checking the gauge maybe?
