[align=left]Im running an NX switch, I think it was from 0-100 psi. You take out a plug and adjust it to kick off at the psi you want. My regular pressure is 47 psi but the switch turns off at 30 psi to keep the fuel soleniod from chattering.

Yes, I figure that is low enough to kick off the spray if there is a problem in the fuel system. I also have a fp guage inside I watch closely too.

You pull out a rubber plug and use the supplied allen wrench to adjust it.

never heard of one. wouldn't make much sense because it would have to let off the gas or turn the motor off or something.
