Alternative to Nippy Normans Bottle for the GSA

[Vern]

Still beats me why everyone wants to lug oil around everywhere. I keep mine in the sump where it's always ready to be used.

Yet to need any on my travels, but I find garages quite handy for selling the stuff if I do.

More needless tack

Problem solved

Guys, just to let you know that Nippy Norman`s have sent me a replacement bottle to try and it`s perfect. It has a much stronger lid, has a more substantial lid liner/gasket rather than the silver paper one and the bottle is smaller in height which allows much easier access and removal.

I have no idea if this new one is now `mainstream` but if my feedback is of any interest to them then lets hope that it`s a problem now solved, in my humble opinion!

Top marks to NN - as far as I am concerned I couldn`t have asked for a better resolution of my problems with the original product. Well done NN

Cut out the middle man and save money, simply visit nearest hospital and fill engine with spent urine from a NN NHS bottle, works for me

Local garden equipment shop had a bottle lying around in his stores. Gave it to me for a £1.00.

Has to be from geriatric ward for extra viscosity and even then not above 3000 rpm for first 500 miles

Tj - well done - this is what I used following the original NN bottle failure.

never tried it but would one of those aluminium drinking bottles you get in outdoor shops not fit? Only cost a couple of quid and have the bling anodised aluminium factor.

you can get the rectangular bottles on eprey for 3 quid, 1litre size. i think when i looked they were under chainsaw oil bottle or fuel/oil mix bottle



cheers

Now I can understand our poor buggers needing to carry oil with them here in Africa.... however - surely you are all in civilised countries that sell oil around every corner

Far, far better to adapt a bottle to carry your spare tipple... something with a bit of wet canvas to keep it cool
