    Desert fox fuel cell's, leaking, anyone else had this?

    Very pleased to report the 3rd unit works well :) I've had it on test for the last couple of weeks and not a rip or a drip. Again, thanks for the support of NN in all of this. Heading to the hills this PM :)

    Desert fox fuel cell's, leaking, anyone else had this?

    As people say, all credit to the manufacturer, my aim if you read back was not to get another cell or even my money back as I was okay to put it down to a loss to myself and experience, it was to point out there may be problems in certain circumstances, however a 3rd unit is heading my way. 3rd...

    Desert fox fuel cell's, leaking, anyone else had this?

    I said id seen post on other forums and NN requested I sent links which I did and also asked if they wanted me to ask on here, which I'm doing. TBH I'm not bothered about my £100 or so for the bag I've lost, more how safe are these things. Just imagine if the ferry had gone up due to this ...

    Well, I can't send it back as I no longer have it. I appreciate you want to test the unit but I'd of thought a legal body such as Port authorities would be enough to validate it was leaking.

    Desert fox fuel cell's, leaking, anyone else had this?

    Hi, just to be clear, it wasn't just 'left' in the Isle of Mann, it was confiscated by the port authorities as being dangerous and a potential threat to life. they would not allow it on the ferry as yet again, the thing was leaking. I can ask for a report from the port officials if you like, but...

    Thanks Chris, Maybe NN are still awaiting a reply, I'll give them a push also. With regards to how tight, the first one was okay on a light twist The second one I did the same and it leaked, bit tighter and it leaked, tighter still and it leaked, as tight as I could, still leaking??

    Desert fox fuel cell's, leaking, anyone else had this?

    Hi, Just wondering if anyones had experiance of these things? I bought one from Nippy Norman's (UK on-line shop) a few months ago and used it once on my DRZ dirt bike only to find the canvas stitcking was coming appart. So NN sent me a returns form and the blader was swapped out. I did notice...
