I am going to investigate replacing Fuelmaker logic boards with a user programmable dedecated control computer called the Arduino. Fuelmaker logic seems to be failure prone and very expensive to repair or replace.
http://www.arduino.cc/
They sell for $35.
The arduino could read the pressure, temperature, methane detector sensors within the fuelmaker and control the compressor motor and fan. The basic logic would be simple: run the compressor until a certain pressure is attained or until a certain time has passed. Shutdown the compressor if it overheats or any methane is detected. The arduino could use the existing fuelmaker lights to display status as is done now.
The computer code would be community developed and free to all to use or modify.
