The problem is that the original regulator to measure the amount of gas is about 3 1/2 Inches in diameter and the one that came with the gauges is about 2 3/4 in diameter. The new one will fall into the gas tank. I am wondering if you or anyone has suggestions as to how to mount the device on the original tank.
There is an adapter for that:

You could use an adapter as EffieTrucker showed or use one of these. https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/p...rod/prd748.htm

Seems to me that with a piece of 1/4" aluminum plate and a couple of hole saws (do the large one first) you could whip out an adapter pretty easy using the gaskets as a guide.

No apologies necessary it is just a matter of terminology. When I think shoot something, I grab the glock
