Great article Richie,

We have just been using that exact unit and found it very efficient. One point that was suggested to us was to fit an in-line filter if we were using a tools compressor. Although, not on the critical side of the booster it is as important to keep that clean also. We had a fine "hair" of PTFE that managed to lodge itself inside and we lost all ability to boost (fortunately at the end of the week). We were driving with a filter-filled twinset so it must have come from the quick-fit connection.

We also had to fill 4 7l mix stages by PP filling and used a digital presure gauge. We were starting with a fresh He "J" but to do all 4 took only just over an hour (C/W a Coltri 80 CFM 240V compressor). Our "mix manager" is very efficient though!! (Herr Mick F).

Although I was not there I hear that it did not take an obcene amount of time to mix up a couple of "Js" to whip-feed the dil bottles either.

Regards,
Midnight
