Tescom releases two pressure regulators designed for use with fuel cell powered vehicles. This design reduces the number of moving parts found in other designs and minimizing the potential of maintenance problems. The 44-6000 Inline Regulator (patent pending) and the 20-1200 are the newest additions to our growing alternative fuels product line.
