Good luck with this, Bill.
The non-return valve will ensure that the main pressure switch will not know what the pressure in the 300 L tank is.
The only way I can see it happening is if you put a pressure switch between the non-return valve and the tank, with a signal back to the throttle.
You can get pressure switches that work on, and signal, with air only.
I cannot tell from the photo what this valve is.
Anyone else?
Cheers,
Bill
