Adjust the FillTrol regulator to give the required system pressure

Nope -- you didn't check the link he provided. The FillTrol is expansion tank
and pressure-regulating fill valve in one unit. The air pressure in the tank
bladder is what regulates the system pressure.
Yes, I did check the link.
The fill valve (regulator) is adjustable to set the boiler pressure.
The boiler needs more _water_. You won't get more
water by adding air to the exp tank end of things.
