Okay ive seen the plans of how to build a propane meter, but how do i get the propane in the chamber? I assume you use a valve stem for tires, but how would i put that in the chamber without worrying about it getting blown out when the gun fires?

thanks

What kind of meter are you thinkging about? For a traditional meter that uses a pipe, two valves and a pressure gauge, a valve stem isn't usually used. Though it can be...

So, must give the typical link to one of Latke's pages; linky.

It is possible to install a tire stem into a chamber. For a typical stem designed for use on a car rim you need to drill the appropriate size hole then install the stem from inside the chamber. If you have a 1/4 NPT tap you can tap a whole in the chmaber then buy a 1/4" NPT threaded tire stem (someitmes hard to find, check your hardware store near the compressors or order one from McMaster).

it explained how to make and how it works in this vid
