Phew! 80 PSI? We don' need no steenking 80 psi, man! :)

I've never had to run either of my propane forges anywhere near that. 
The atmospheric one works fine at between 5 and 15 psi, depending on 
what I'm doing, just hammerin' and bending or welding. It's an NC Tool 
Whisper Momma.

The blower forge usually sets at 5-10 psi with .062 orifices. (The 
homebrew Plan Two, with modifications, forge from dwwilson site.)

Before I added the blower and bored the orifices, a friend and I welded 
a high-carbon edge strip on a pattern welded blade at Pennsic using only 
20 psi.

I think you got a problem someplace, Bro.

IIRC, and Terry Ridder (sp?) can probably verify yea or nay, propane at 
80 PSI might well reliquify in the line on the way to the burners.
