I just fragged mine if you need one.

Booked!

I discovered I was one of the offenders using these bastards a few months back. Held on to them to give them away as freebies but realized we’d all suffer for it. So to the landfill they go! My apologies if you got one, I switched to Nathan’s @Coral Hub (Nathan) plugs a while back.

If your plank is older you almost certainly have the older style pump assembly - consider yourself lucky, as I really dislike the new ones. I think the dial is an over-complication and I've already broken both of mine (the junction between the extended tube thingy and the main dial). Because...

Capitalist swine!

This is how I am thinking about it. I think the folks who can't make sense of Carx just don't have a tank that demands one yet. They never made much sense to me either until my tank got to the point where I am now having to dump enormous amounts of liquid (kalk, alk, ca) into the tank every...
