Hope that helps, rc

That use of tubing is going to come under scrutiny. <R01> bans using extraneous lengths of tubing as a tank. I can kind of see how the three-way connection would work, but it might be easier to do it in line. Just make sure that every single line before the regulator (other than the vent line) goes through the regulator and you should be OK.
