pumping in gear oil

[NH-James]

Until I increased the size of pipe, yes, there were some tense moments wondering whether I'd end up with a big mess Better with a bigger pipe, but I'll probably improve the design and find some sort of container designed to take pressure, as the concept of it is great, much more convenient than any other method of filling.

Calor gas bottle. Weld on a Male airline fitting for pressure and also straw inside to an external pipe for the outlet with on/off tap. Take bottle tap off for filling. Plug in airline. Open little tap on outlet pipe and away you go!

Pic tomorrow if you like.

That's what I was thinking of, just a bit heavy and cumbersome.

No way, you want the bigger bottle with the 2 outlets, 1 for liguid and the other for gas.
Or just turn ordinary bottle upside down
