Heres a picture of the gizmo I made to test the pressure cap. https://picasaweb.google.com/101787477383733954114/Vanagon Cheap Harbor Freight adjuster/gauge assy coupled to a pvc fitting. (had to turn down the pvc to fit inside the cap). Clamped the gizmo to the cap with some vice grips and connected to air compressor, let air in via the adjuster untill it bled off. Easier to tell when it bleeds off if you connect a hose to the cap and stick it in some water, watch for bubbles. As I mentioned earlier, caused me NOT to use a new cap I had just bought because it didn't open untill 40#'s
