    Neat Regulator Tip

    We had decreasing pressure on one auto and had regulator cranked all the way to high pressure. We thought it was the regulator and replaced. Pressure was still low. Got a tip from fellow operator--if rocker panel nozzle screens are partially clogged it will unload and continue to unload even...
