Thanks ill have to have look them up. Yeh the first time i got my bottle filled i figured out quite quickly the washers arent much good the second time and lost a full bottle of gas over 2 weeks

Came home to this yesterday. 2nd year cascades with plenty of hops coming through after nothing last year, and the dog has ripped the vines from the base... ******* ropeable
