That is what happens when you have your bottle heater on allll the time. I guess he didnt have a blowdown pipe either...

He had a blowdown pipe, but they ended up messing it up. They wired the heater to a direct 12v source rather than to a temp switch. Also, they added 2 items (cannot remember what they were called) instead of only one. This caused the pressure to be twice as much. Can you say "Oops"?
