[IMG]http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff329/stagdad/06052010473.jpg[/IMG] So i replaced the pump with a bung that i had made.

[IMG]http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff329/stagdad/04032010354.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff329/stagdad/15032010384.jpg[/IMG] So there you have it,It works really well and overheating and pump worries are a thing of the past.Another advantage is that it's new possition is very low in the system so it should never run dry which can happen with the original set up. Here's a quick video of it in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FytqvzYiZjs Cheers Steve [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
