Wanting to add a little bit of fluid to the clubby. Anyone got a hydro pump that I could use in exchange for beer moneys?

I made a small pump from a grease gun...of course it doesn't suck the fluid out, but is good for top ups. I have a slow small leak in one bag, and I use the pump every couple of months..has been no probs. Used a truck tyre adapter, all up cost was about $100. Considering I was going to he charged over $100 for one top up by professionals, I figure it's paid for itself many times over.
Just thought I'd mention this for your consideration.

Of course, one day I might just replace the bag haha.

Same here, just made a crude one from a grease gun and used a normal push-on fitting which hasn't blown off yet.......welcome to use it but in north of Sydney so I am sure someone is closer....
