Okay, this is not about shooting but a helpful tip for Trailers. I have a 30 year old trailer. I updated the gas regulator and the hoses with the big green connectors. I found that the green connectors have 2 safety features build in. One is they fall apart with they hit 150 degrees to stop the gas flow. More inportantly if the are turned on and there is a differentail in pressure they will reduce the gas flow. With my old trailer sitting for a mouth in between skirmishes my pipe looses its pressure. I have found (after replaceing a couple regulators) that if the gas valve is turned on slowly the pressure can build up in the pipe and it won't set off the safety. Also, if you have two tanks you can turn one on and turn the other on later.

PS I have a couple of two stage regulators, breifly used I'll let go for $15 each. I'll be a the Nationals.
