i use the better of the 2 roths not the one thats a spit of the yellow monument type,dont like these mine has a clear cover,avoid"roll up types" as well

cheers gas man, i want a decent one and dont mind spending the money on one, as lomg as im not going to be buying a new one every month.

If you want the best then buy the Regin one, but at around £50 and then around £25 for the top up fluid it's not cheap

 

[andyg0507]

and how often do they need topping up??

 

[mark.brazenor@b]

Had mine over a year and haven't had to top it up yet.

 

[andyg0507]

sounds good, any links on where to get one?

why dont you try food dye,thats what i use a lot cheaper and a variety of colors

 

[andyg0507]

just had a look on net at top up fluid prices, some places are selling it for £4??


google regin u-gauge and have a look.

the regin is the one to get what a lot of people dont realise is they dont lose the fluid even when you tip them over or turn on the gas too quick as they have a clever trap arangement built in why regins dont advertise this i dont know i only found out when i bought mine
ive had mine five years and is just getting to the point where i need to top up and fluid is only 7 quid round here

and how often do they need topping up??

hardly ever

get an electronic one. I did, it didnt last long when i topped it up with water lol

The regin's need a fluid with a specific density.
