[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 3261, member: 109"] [b]Thanks to all - I've decided[/b] Thanks to everyone who replied and contributed. I had a good look at a pair of gas taps and whilst I can see they are superior in construction I did not like the look of them, and could not see an easy way of filtration. One WLS member said he had taken off the filters from an old pair and soldered them onto gas taps before fitting. Anyway, the VOSC replacements appeared to be of better design than the ones I took off (which look very much like the ones my Dad fitted in the 1970's) so I opted to replace with like for like. They look to me like the rotating section is sealed with an O ring. Anyway I am not planning to do huge mileage and don't mind contemplating replacing them every couple of years if that's what happens. Regards Stuart [/QUOTE]
