I have blown up 2 polypropylene tanks trying to place a fertilizer injector system in my drip line. The pressure gets to them and they burst at the seams. Any suggestions on a sure fire way to place such an injector into a drip line?

Not sure what you are asking exactly injectors use a draw tube from the fert tank and is injectef into the water main. If you are pumping into dril tape hou have to have pressure reducing valves to drop the prezsure down to 10 PSI. There is a good picture of our set up in our 2017 diary under Gads.

Curious on your set up, if your blowing up a tank, to me it sounds like a venting issue, unless its supposed to be some kind of a pressure tank. Can you walk use through the system with with every line and valve, reuglator, pump, etc etc before and after the tank

Do you have something like this? Some units are not rated to handle constant pressure, if you have an auto shutoff valve, it would need need to be installed behind the unit, so when it shut off it would bleed down to what your drip tape is regulated to. Which would technically still be under pressure but low, but far better than if a valve was after then the unit would be under supply pressure. Also some are rated to only 50 psi, depending on your well pump pressure switch, city pressure or whatever supply pump this could easily be exceeded even when the system is running.
