I invented a new way to CVF. First, you drill several interconnected holes in the check valve. This is best done with a bit designed to drill through metal, as it works faster. Then, you put in a crap-load of epoxy, and put it in a vise reservoir side up. When the glue is dry (mine takes an hour), you're done.
I did this on my CPS 10-30-50, and it works great. To be honest, I don't know why people started doing it the old caveman way. I suppose the first idea was just to remove the valve, then two seconds later they realized that that wouldn't work, but I'm rambling. Just try it. It's awesome.

Neat, that sounds much easier and stronger! Sounds like you also don't need to drill the valve itself - drilling the tubing might do.
Also, just as a not, the term "pressure release valve" is much more accurate than "check valve." The PRV is by no means a one-way valve. It's not your fault that there's poor terminology floating around, but just watch out for potential confusion.

I think, out of my randomness, I saw this in a post way back in 2004 when i was surfing the forums two seconds ago.

It is what dsoaker502 says:
"Freeze the check valve by drilling a hole in it and filling that with epoxy."

Damn! I thought I was being so original! And I would have been the first to think of it, too, if it weren't for those meddling other people!
Yeah, that disappoints me a little, but I noticed that dsoaker mentioned it as if everyone already knew what he was talking about. My new mission will be to search through past posts to find where he heard about it.
I'll be back.
