Message	out of this. I merely pointed out the facts in case someone had an issue with 60 PSI in their engine. I personally think the engine should be able to handle it. But your statement that house water is low pressure is inaccurate. Most homes on a well have the expansion tank pressure set to roughly 60psi. I am a member of our village's Board of Public Affairs and work closely with the water department. Our water tower supplies up to 80 PSI depending on how far down the hill you are from the tower. Most residents have 60 to 65. This is simply an informational post. Not meant to scold anyone. KKrofft
