You lost me with "LPR". I have advice re: how to avoid EOTD (end of tank dump), but I'll reserve my [possibly unneeded] information until I learn what LPR stands for.
I Fear the EOTD...What do you do to prevent it?

Ah.. In that case, I may be useful. Having owned Milwaukee and JBJ regs, I will offer my experience. In short, JBJ regs allow little to know EOTD, and depending on the circumstances, Milwaukees can allow a large EOTD. This is because Milwaukee regs come with a low-pressure valve (besides the needle valve). JBJ's have a set low pressure reg - it can not be adjusted. If you set the low pressure valve to a very low rate on a Milwaukee, it will be impacted greatly by an EOTD. And, if you set the low pressure valve to a very high rate, it will NOT be as heavily impacted by the EOTD. However, this makes the needle valve harder to adjust.
Basically, because JBJ's do not have an adjustable low pressure valve, they seem to be more stable and less prone to human error.
Some folks have had problems with JBJ's. That is a bummer. But, mine have worked flawlessly for over 3 years and numerous tank changes. I've never used a controller, and I've never had an EOTD with any of my JBJ regs. Sometimes I don't even get around to changing the reg until the tank has completely run out of gas.
My one Milwaukee reg, I need to keep an eye on
. It has gassed the 50g tank it feeds on more than one occasion.

Ok, let me see if I understand this. If the low side pressure is set low--then there is higher risk of a EOTD, correct? And if the Low side is set High--there is little or no risk of EOTD, correct?Ah.. In that case, I may be useful. Having owned Milwaukee and JBJ regs, I will offer my experience.

Many people recommend setting the low side at 10-20psi. I have found better results at 30+psi (especially on multi-output setups). I have yet to experience an EOTD that I am aware of....and I run the tanks to Empty!
So, is it looking like Higher psi on the low side eliminates or reduces the EOTD?
Thanx!
