[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 172182, member: 6969"] The instruction book does describe the expansion vessel as a replaceable part. They say it simply unscrews from the top of the cylinder. So from that I take it there's just a (probably tapered) thread on the cylinder and the corresponding opposite one on the expansion vessel. The problem is they don't give a part number or details of this thread and as I say, googling does not reveal anyone listing it a a separate part. I've not yet tried contacting plumbers merchants. I'm certainly not replacing the whole cylinder for the sake of an expansion vessel, even if it means fitting an external one. By the way there were two different versions of this cylinder, the Tornado that I have with the internal vessel, and the Tempest is the same cylinder but has an external expansion vessel. I wish I had bought that version now. Incidental, I think I've answered my own question on the expansion tank capacity. If I had bought the tempest version with an external expansion vessel, it would have been supplied with an 18 litre expansion vessel. On the tempest, they instruct you to tee the expansion vessel into the cold water feed after the pressure reducing valve. So if an OEM replacement for the internal vessel on my tank is too expensive (I can get a separate 18L expansion vessel for [/QUOTE]
