    keyword=Ethane woes.

    What caused the ethane to stop flowing correctly is not clear. It is flowing now.
    I found the low pressure dial on the ethane regulator had been damaged. It reads
    about 25PSI higher than the actual pressure. Apparently the pressure on the low
    side increased too high and pinned the needle on the gauge, rotating the needle on
    its shaft or bending the spring. I found the CO2 for the aerogel valved off at the
    bottle. Please do not flail away at the systems in a panic. It can create more
    problems.
