Dervburner 2,548 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Whilst I haven’t considered one before, due to the current situation regarding lockdown it doesn’t look like my 12ltr bottle will be getting tested and refilled anytime soon. Are these moderately priced (£40 ish) pumps for sale on line any good, or are they likely to leak or fall apart quickly? I’m not afraid of putting a bit of effort in, just wondering if anyone has had any experience of them? Thanks for any replies Quote Link to post

Thanks for any replies I have used this one a lot it was around £30 - I just fitted a better hose that I had lying about. It has been a fantastic trouble free pump. I'll put a pic up if it helps you to choose one. 2 Quote Link to post

tomburras 2,721 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 This is nearest like it I can find at a cheap price and its in the UK too..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174563706935 I stopped using the bottle and just used this pump and after a lot of filling up my falcon FN with it when I re sealed the gun there was no moisture inside it. I remember, thinking about it - I also needed some kind of thread adapter to fit my quickfill to the supplied hose it only cost a couple of pounds. Or just use the hose off your bottle and screw it to the pump like I did. 2 Quote Link to post
