  1. not if is connected with toilets and log jams!!!
  2. Just wondering of the various pump out / sea toilets available which use the most water for flushing
  3. I'm not on the boat so can't examine the tank cap but coolant overflow is definitely from the manifold cap
  4. This is the standard Beta fit from their parts list. Plain cap on expansion tank which connects to tapping on thermostat housing. 13 psi standard pressure cap retained on heat exchanger. From memory I think they use a repurposed Citroen expansion tank!
  5. afaik they all still work albeit only one side has been electrified, Pickets of course was always single.
  6. probably 2 reasons why it is not common now, 1) CRT has no corporate memory anymore 2) it probably doesnt work with ash from smokeless
  7. https://narrowboatworld.com/3397-ashing-up-the-gates
  8. proper coal ash was fine for improving towpath surfaces and sealing lock gates, unfortunately smokeless is good for neither

  12. where we moor in Belgium that is exactly how it is done
  13. The hand operated ones do work, we had one, never gave any problems not even sure it was a Whale, plenty of cheaper ones on ebay. Might be an idea to get a one way valve if it is higher than the tray to stop it running back when you finish pumping. Of course most users prefer the convenience of a Gulper which is what we now have.
  14. has anyone found anywhere sensible/legal/ecological to get rid of the old stuff?
  15. blasted and preprimed steel or pickled and oiled does not cost much more than steel with the millscale on.
  16. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Scow more sensibly the trip boats below the falls

  19. I understood he suffered ill health and sold the boat we saw it in London a few years ago apparently being used as a live aboard, bit of a waste
