Hmm, I heard of folk who screw the winged nut fully in to close the valve not realising that in that position the valve is open.

Maybe the valve was open at the bottom.  Greeners was fitted and the valve was left open at the base.....................

 :surprised:

Mark,

Happy to help when you are back.

Dirty brown liquid and Amsterdam conjures up images of cannabis oil.

Drained mine today and it was near full of dirty brown liquid with like yellow or cream pieces in it. Settled on top like a froth after a few minutes  :scared:

I will post a pic in here of the stuff I drained off and thats only after 2 weeks and about 450 miles travelled.
