Morning great to be on the train again going to work ........not.....
Oh well 2 weeks and we are off again for easter in the NSW outback so looking forward to that .... heating up this weekend up to 37 sunday no rain for us as yet and none comming
Carnt wait for our new trains less seats more room to stand thats got to be good

don't they say it is more healthy to stand than sit? Not looking forward to more standing. Trains are already crowded and standing more often than not, especially on the way home!

At least it's not an office situation Bluey..........................I'd hate to have to use a train or bus to get to work, work used to be 29 kms from home, did it by Ute first 2km at 80kph next 22km at 100 and the rest at 80 or 60, took longer on way home as there was a pub to stop at.

Double bonus as I have 3 bottles with me this trip, thought I would end up with just carting an empty around mostly but at $15 it will get filled before we leave, 3 of them means we can last 3 weeks at least and since some joints want near $40, I have some leeway......... the extra couple of kilos is bugger all in the big scheme.

In melbourne where i get mine filled the major gas supplyer hasnt opened the bleeder in ages thats how we do it now they say


I would be looking for a new supplier mate - are they using digital scales when filling?
if not ask them how they know how much LPG they have decanted

I have tried several times to find the relevant Standard (which I know is there, just cannot remember where - Mines and Minerals, Petrolium, Dangerous Goods etc)

Actually thinking back many many years, when we did a course on it, filling on the scales I dont think we did open the bleed, once the scales hit the weight the system shut down, the gas was pumped from the tanks so no pressure equalization problems, we mainly concentrated refilling differn't bottles in the field so no pump system available.......and when we did fill from a big tank with pump we did open the bleed screw as we had no scale system so he's more than likely correct @Bluey .
