What do you think the spring is?

He is most definately running a high risk driving it the way it is. I guess you've never seen this before, which is cool. Once you do, you'll never forget it. Anyway, if his relief valve is sticking, it will lock up before it will free flow, and if it locks up closed (they usually do), his pressure will exceed 50 psi.

Take care,
