Well :oops: Didn't know that :shock: I do beg to differ tho :wink: i didn't realise you could get the manual in english :!: I will still continue to put 4 1/2 ltr in mine cos if it says it full on the dip it full when i'm filling it and yes i do do mine on the level, and i do check mine very reg as i like playing around with the beast :roll: :D :D The filter i usualy use a nippart filter from part co have had others but not overly convinced with the quality and cheaper filters scare me :wink: :wink:
