Is this tank set for liquid, or vapor draw? Thanks for your time.

Propane is liquified as it is compressed into the tank. As it leaves the tank through the regulator, it goes back to a vapor state to be burned. Propane and natural gas are unstable liquids. Where as gasoline (from oil) is a stable liquid. But for both products, it is the vapor that ignites, not the liquid. The tank stores the vapor, compressed to a liquid. It returns to a vapor as it leaves the tank and expands.

Make sure everything is connected properly. The reservoir needs to have the tube in it that puts the fluid in to the bottom of the tank and the gun needs to be hooked up to the other side of the cap. If there is no air gap between the gun and the liquid it will pull the liquid into the gun.Also, my instructions stated to dump the reservoir after 2 inches of fluid accumulated.

sounds like propane in the line but not coming from the tank. Tank overflow valve may have sucked up to cut off propane. Disconnect, bounce tank (assuming it is full), to shake valve down, then turn slowly so it doesn't suck up again. Happens on the new regulation tanks with overfill valve.

sounds like there might be some kind of obstruction. Not real sure, I never had any problems with mine. Is the tank sitting on the base properly? I use either R/O or distilled water

Has 3 each 1/2 in npt ports molded plugged each end. Just drill out the ones you need. Great tank! Other answer is wrong. You can see the ports in the picture.

Yes, My 12 year old Son loves this tank. He set it up and operates it. I haven't helped once.

I just looked at the owners manual which lists Flotec's precharged tanks, and the series FP7120-xx should be pretty much the same. Id only be concerned with differences when it would be listed as FP7125. That would be the 50 gal tank. Looks like you have the same 35 gallon pressurized tank. Great tank by the way!

Have not gone through a full tank yet. Do research before you buy. All did not go well with purchase and generator itself.

I didn't see the steam vapors from the vent, either. However, the water in the tank is vaporized. The light is only on when it needs to be replaced, I think.

No, I've never had any problems with my tank at all. you may have just got a defective one. you may need to get it replaced.

This tank does not have a pressure regulator on it---just a pressure gauge. I'm not an expert but, I'm pretty sure that the tank is not going to work for air brushing at any fixed psi. Just my opinion.

Thanks for your question. I think that a 55gal would be the max tank I would use it for. You would have to use it to the max adjusting but it should work fine. Good luck and have fun

No. That would be pointless anyway since a tank doesn't last that long. Just buy a butance refill cylinder and you are good to go. This has proven a handy little device for me.

There was a leaked but my husband pushed the tank in harder and it hasn't leaked since.Make sure that the tank is all the way in. Push down on it but be gentle. A great buy saved me nearer $800

Not at all. The vapor/mist is not hot. There are no adjustments that I am aware of.

It's more about how much air the compressor will put out per minute. You will have to stop fairly frequently to let your setup catch up if you are painting something that is large. I have/had a set of these guns. You can't use them straight out of the box. Totally take them apart and clean all the junk out of them and take the plastic gasket, that divides the nozzle from the paint chamber, and some 800 grit sandpaper and on a flat surface, lap the gasket flat (can't remember if it's the front or back side but you'll be able to tell which one should be smooth). Mine leaked air, very badly, into the paint chamber. Every time I squeezed the trigger, you could see bubbles percolating through the paint. Lapping that hard plastic gasket stopped that. Don't expect to be able to spray a candy with these guns. The pattern(s) on mine is/are too inconsistent. I ended up buying a different gun to shoot my base/clear. Matt

I did spread the use of my canisters over a period of several days and that was no problem. You have to change the tip between uses, but they give you plenty with each pair of canisters. It seems as if the liquids do not activate until they mix at the tip. I did close the tanks at the valve between uses as an extra precaution.
