    Gas forklift bottle level indicator

    You look like a very happy chappy on the forklift lol !! Ever since owning it its ran like a bag of spuds so I guess it'll take time to get use to it being reliable. Having an idea of how much gas is in the tank by just glancing will help pinpoint why it could be performing. Sent from my...

    Gas forklift bottle level indicator

    This one's dead at 18.7 vs the previous one of 17.4. That's 1.3 kg of something difference. Could that be the difference in bottle weight you mentioned Bob ? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Gas forklift bottle level indicator

    I haven't tried it Nev so can't say for sure. I spoke to the calor man and he thought there wasn't any cheap easy solution. I found another gauge that looked like it would work buy it had the wrong thread. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Gas forklift bottle level indicator

    Your figures aren't far out Bob. The only slight difference is the empty bottle weighing 17.4kg vs your estimated 22kg. I've got another empty so will double check it when I go over later on. It's like a different machine now. It'll tick over quite happily for as long as I leave it turned on...

    Gas forklift bottle level indicator

    I'm not sure it'd be worth buying a larger quantity tbh. I think a bottle could last me 3-4 months, perhaps even more now I don't have to forklift boxes of offcuts around. As it stands I just ring them up and they exchange for another full one, I always keep a spare one it's just knowing if it...

    So longs it'll roughly give me an idea it's gotta be better than nothing. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Gas forklift bottle level indicator

    It's an 18kg bottle Bob. Weighed properly on bathroom scales an empty bottle weighed 17.4kg and a full one (on these less accurate hanging scales) weighed around 36.5kg. The 17.4kg weight was after it had ran out or the forklift would no longer run on it. I was using the scales more as a gauge...

    Gas forklift bottle level indicator

    A few of you may remember the thread where I was asking for advice about my forklift. Since the head gasket has been fixed it runs like a dream....other than a small leak on the radiator which I can live with. It started being silly the other day but it was just an empty gas bottle. A proper...

    Workshop Waste

    I was in a similar situation years ago and decided to bite the bullet and get a briquette machine. It hasn't paid for itself in terms of sales but it saves soooooooo much hassle and was completely worth it. The saw dust/chippings get extracted straight into the hopper so no emptying dusty bags...

    Spot the oversight

    The moulds would be machined from a wide board then ripped back on the table saw. Mould, cut, mould, cut etc. I don't really understand question 2 ? I don't want to fuel the argument but there is more than one way to skin a cat lol. Jacob talks sense with this. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Spot the oversight

    That's seems harsh Roger. What Jacob describes is probably how a lot of people would have considered when making the architrave. Taking a massive chunk of timber out of that size piece of wood is going to cause the wood to curl to some degree. I recently made a largish batch of 2 and 3 part...

    A small commission for £

    I fitted some treads and risers between two brick walls years ago. There was another area that needed curvy handrail, that's when I heard about it. Not entirely sure if they went with wood or stainless in the end though. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Spot the oversight

    Tuther week the gas forklift that was always throwing a tantrum decided to have another. After about an hour of fiddling I thought I should check the gas bottle- it was empty ! Ha. Fired straight up after i changed the bottles over. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
