3000-3600

[JimboC]

two questions

1. I have 3000 PSI tank. If I find a station and the PSI is on the pump is showing 3200 PSI, Would it be safe to fill my car?

2. I I wanted to upgrade to 3600 PSI, just switching tanks is all that is needed or is there more?

Thanks in advance.

As long as the pump is listed as a 3000# fill, it will be fine. The pumps fill the car to a temperature corrected 3000#, which on warm days, could be considerably higher than 3000#. The fill nozzle should be Blue for the 3000# fill, and Yellow for the 3600# fill.

2. I I wanted to upgrade to 3600 PSI, just switching tanks is all that is needed or is there more?

In most cases, the all that needs to be changed is the tank and the fill connector (so it can accept 3600# nozzles). Some other components that MIGHT need upgraded are the regulators, and the PSV's. Check with a reputable conversion shop and they should be able to help you out/give you a quote on the work.

Don't forget to chect the pressure rating on the coalessing filter.

While this color scheme may be true for many Greenfield dispensers, it does not accurately describe older Greenfields (both P30 and P36 are black; you have to look for the "P30" or "P36" stamped into the plastic), or the some of the dispensers with "T" nozzles.
