Grabbed these while waiting for my QB79 to fill today before work. IR is neat so its worth sharing!

Now that is genuinely groundbreaking stuff 'Binfor'

Not fully sure why (AT THIS STAGE), but its good work,

upon which
I shall ponder.

I have been thinking of automating my pump and was worried about the temps. Looks pretty good though.

Same here, just haven't decided how to do it.

If you guys have questions just ask. I have a sort of parts list I put together from all the inquiries I have received in the past. I have tried a few times over the years to design/redesign a automated pump to market, but it just doesnt play into my available time/profit margin really.

Its a 13 cu/in bottle, and filling it from 1k to 3k is about the most work I'd subject it to at a time without pause to cool I think. I haven't timed it, but its probably in the 6-8 minute range to fill as a guess.
