To those who have this, how is yours working now that you have had it for a while. if you used lionels fluid or perhaps jts megasteam in the unit is it still working ok. I put a small amount of megasteam in mine just to test it out when first I got it. then it got emptied and stored away. I recently put it to work on the layout. when I tested it, it worked fine. when I finally got aroung to using it the tube that goes from the fill tank to the pump just started leaking right where it goes into the pump. seems the hose was easily torn and it developed a riped hole some how. I cut off the broken part at the end of the hose and straightened it up. made my own home made fitting and reatached the hose to the pump. now it works great. I am asking these questions here just to see how everyone else's smoke fluid loaders are working now that we have had them for a while. seems the hoses inside at the pump fitting at least to me are the only weak link in this accesory. although fixing mine was fairly easy after seeing ernies post on how he fixed his. this is a neat accessory and I love using it for some of my engines.
