It's precisely the same as in the Westy tank, assuming they are at the same temperature -- in practical terms, somewhere under about 200 psi. The pressure in the lines after the regulator is about six ounces per square inch, controlled by the regulator. The pressure in a tank containing liquid propane depends entirely on the temperature. Coleman may have a reason they don't want you to use extension hoses (like the possibility of burning the hose) but pressure ain't it. d David Beierl - Providence, RI http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation"
