THANKS guys, I really appreciate all the kudos.

I've learned many many tricks from you all also, and try to "pay back" the masses.

Lets see, safety gear did consist of me wearing safety glasses, the line had been flushed with solvent the night before and left open, I did start at 50 psi not 100+, there WAS a bunch of blow-by air past the threaded on "forward" cap seal so the fresh clean air passing through the cap was purging any fumes/vapors, and if anything I call the pvc cap a pressure relief valve if it popped off.

Lets see, a 1" diameter pvc cap might have about 1.75 sq inches of area and we're only talking then less than 150-175 pounds of air force on a cap that may weigh an 1/4 ounce max (gads, can you tell I'm an engineer?) so even if it did pop off..........oh the horrors, oh the humanity of it all.....

So to close, no p-car parts or owners were harmed in filming this event.

Cheap tricks like this make Pelican forums ROCK,

THANK YOU WAYNE for your own special tip of the hat. Your web service makes this all soooooo worthwhile and possible.
