Title: Replace male DI connector
Post by: Sean Dyer on November 29, 2012, 09:29:58 am

trying to get my van filled this morning i have snapped the out connector on my di as it was cold and brittle , got caught out last night should have brought it all in the house

anyway , where you can buy just the male hoselock connector for the di vessel  , its not like a normal one as it has  a square shaped nut and thrread on it to screw into the di lid??
