Well no, but as I already have a couple in various kits, I just wondered how much use it might be, I wouldn't go out and buy one specifically 'just in case'

Looks like something went badly wrong in Derbyshire with their water purification plant the other day with instructions not to drink, wash, bathe or even clean your toilet! Under those type of circumstances - especially as you can imagine that supplies of bottled water dried up very fast in...

Would the o ring degrade being exposed to petrol ?

SAK Farmer, as it's got everything I need, is UK legal (and non tacticool, which seems to mean more to police)

Ford Galaxy? They're pretty much a van with windows.
