Greg,
Dave refers in part to a post of mine a year back...relevant portion as
follows:
>> clear PVC pipe w/ 0.33" i.d. (sold by ACS as P/N 03-54100, Quickie
>> sight gauge
I've threaded this pipe for some 90 degree fittings and use it for the
sight gauge proper and connect it to some flex tubing from the
gascolator and for venting....not at all sure as to how it will
perform, but I'm hoping it will be more readable and durable than the
flex tubing.
