Haven't stopped smiling since I saw the Turbulator logo for the T-shirt!

My system is SO simple (like all good ideas?) that it is hardly going to be a lot of grief to fit. Cost is negligible and anyway it is a bit of fun experimenting. It does need careful setting up. I mean I am not ingesting gallons per minute (nor per hour either ha ha). Hydraulic locking is not possible here with this system................. well not unless you mess up big time.
I'll let everyone know how it goes (or doesn't) once adaptation complete.
If it ain't broke-------------------------- fix it 'till it is!

the name tubulator may be a tad misleading. Yes turbulence keeps the heavier than air gas in suspension better than if it was a smooth intake surface. However a swirl effect is even better and i believe this is what the  turbulator does judging from the look of the vanes.
