Hi Jim. Thanks.

In reading + phone calls today, I realize I've misunderstood things.

For anyone other confused souls reading GoWestys library article helped:

I had equated the old potentially problematic Auto Stop Fill *valve*
with the now the more modern "auto-stop" filling port design.

But... In looking at pic here:

I see the main valve, bleeder, fill valve, but what is the blue thing?

Neil.
