    I almost posted the same answer multiple times. I would type and then when I hit POST nothing would happen. It was either a cell network delay or something on TTR's end.

    Something was up with the servers. They had a hard time rebooting and the site was down for a while. Seems good now

    How I did it was I put the 2x4 on the ground then the car jack on top and the 4x4 up & down pressed against the bottom of the valve. Then crank it up. Problem was I had a spring suspension, so every 10 mins I had to pump it a little to keep the internal open. It was a total pinta, but I got unloaded.

    Know what you mean.
    I've never had that issue, yet
    Not all our tanks have that exposed pin like that, most of the newer tanks have that, And all those Miller tanks we have now are some older and kind of beat up.
    Mechanically fine just older stuff
