So i am using burntlatke's fuel calc but im not 100% sure on how to use it. so i would love if someone could check my accuracy.
my chamber is 250 in cubed.
my propane meter pipe is 1/2" galvinized steel
my propane meter holding chamber is 12" including spaces/gaps
my percent of propane to air is 4.3%
I have standard apsi
when i plug all this in, i come up with a 45psi range for the propane in the meter.
can someone check this?? thanks!

I'm kind of confused. Is your meter pipe 12" long? If not, what is the meter's volume, or length?

Using the Fuel Tool, I came up with 67psi. Using the formula from the wiki, I got 64psi.

yeah see, we get a mix of answers, i used fuel tool and it gave me 45-ish, and i tried some other one and it gave me around the 70-ish range.
EDIT: Hub, i think that yours is inaccurate due to the fact that when you plugged in the meter pipe ID, 1/2" steel pipe is not 1/2" IDmore like .7"
