If they are not responding to your emails then that is n ot a good sign. You could try and get a phone number for them. Avcomm is a l imited company so Companies House should be able to tell you where they are l ocated.

Many thanks for replies, Lots to choose from. Personally I am not keen on jerry cans, maybe safer in transporting, but I like plastic possibly cleaner inside. however I have seen many use jerry cans without problems. I always use a filter, I have a plastic one that fits quit tightly into the filler hole, What I do notice in the filter after refilling is insects ie a small flies. I suppose one of these could block the jets, ??? So recommend using a filter, They was a post saying filter as you refill you cann at the pumps, sounded a good idea to me, till I remembered the flies. Regards.
