Wow, great results there :D

How long a run can you get with Marvin on gas, Graham?

By the way, it looks like you have had your fair share of rain recently...

I will have to time it Simon but it comes to steam very quickly now.
Im afraid the water runs out before the gas does so might have to make a smaller gas cylinder
