With anything made out of PVC it is not advised to go above 125-150 psi even if the pipe is rated for a 200psi maximum. PVC is not a great material for higher pressure because it shatters under failure rather than deforming.

A war-like setting/invitational would be better...

CS, would you say that the SCH 40 is less likely to shatter than the thinwall at, say, 100 psi?
Thinwall = Thin wall. Thinly walled objects don't hold pressure well.
Other than that, I would suggest using a double-tank if you are insanely concerned about safety. (When I use the phrase "double tank," it means one pipe inside of another one, with some space in between that can be used to contain a shattering internal tank, and then bleed out the rest so that there is no danger.)

Yes because thin wall (i.e gravity feed) items are not even meant to hold pressure on their own. They're used only for draining applications.CS, would you say that the SCH 40 is less likely to shatter than the thinwall at, say, 100 psi?
Do not exceed 150psi when filling a sch40 tank.
