That'll be so handy clinton. So now you can top up the engine whilst running???

Does the actual top up valve itself have to be ordered online somewhere, or is it homemade also?

A truly Global effort, and the rewards are fitting too as Clinton has an original and working new idea.
Isnt this place grand? I think so
