Hi,

I read some of your posts on the other forum where you contribute all the time and are a moderator.

I thought you were pretty knowledgable but following the quoted text above wonder.

Posting junk like you just did really calls into question how much you actually understand about fluid and gas laws.

If you have 1/2" PSI per Sq Inch in the free space in your tank ( above the liquid level) that is all you have it is not 1/2" multiplied by the surface area of the tank top. I know fractions can be confusing ,This is why mWc is a much easier standard for people to understand.
