Heres a handy little site I found a few years back.

Anyone interested what the guts of a metro/mgf hydrogas unit look like:

Thanks David. For anyone who hadn't doubts about hydragas. You now have! Cortez and Excelsior drivers beware!

Yes your right Hans.

And these were newish ones too. I was particularly interested in the little bubbles appearing in the rubber on one of them and observations about heat having an impact on the longevity of the rubber.

Wouldn't fancy one of them going at high speed.
