I've got one of Dave's systems, running just fine. Dave didn't invent the
end-of-tank dump. There is nothing unreliable IMO

Anyone that wants to can buy themselves a needle-valve and any needed adapters,
if they feel the system isn't what they need.
I am a little confused as to why the hose came off when using the needle-valve,
unless the hose-barb on the needle-valve wasn't the right size. The main
hose coming from the regulator on Dave's standard setup just uses a hose-barb,
and it stays put under the same kind of pressures... Or was Dave running the
regulator output at a higher pressure with the needle-valve?
