I love mine also, but, I've never had to bring it up that high. Don't forget, too much PSI and you risk blowing the plastic reservoir or cap off or apart. It was only engineered for ambient air pressure; ie - practically none at all. The plastic feeds on the bottom of the reservoir are only a press-fit into the rubber gaskets on the top of the master cylinder, folks, nothing else retains them but a rubber lip. I pre-twist my cap in the loosen direction (CCW) before threading it onto the M/C reservoir; as I spin it onto the threads, the hose un-twists to a normal state. Or you can spin the whole thing to compensate for the non-swiveling hose/ cap assembly. This is one of my favorite tools in the garage, how 'bout you?
