Fitted mine today to replace my BSH System. Will see how this compares!

....As I also replaced a BSH with the Forge, I'll be very interested to hear your views in due course  :happy2:

First views are that it is a much more asthetically pleasing unit. The inclusion of the window for seeing how full the unit is makes it more practical than the BSH unit as well.  :happy2:

....Yep, agreed, far more aesthetically pleasing without resorting to the tank being styled to look like a hand-grenade etc as many of the American ones do. I think that BSH use a dip-stick method but my version didn't. The Forge's window can occasionally be tricky to see in some lights rather than just at a glance - I have resorted to trying to jump my car up and down to see movement because the risen liquid is dark brown, but my suspension is very hard even if I sit on a wing!

When at the top level mark the tank empties about 10oz of fluid each time. The Forge undoubtedly costs significant money but I also really like the bonus of the included screenwash filler. Without going to the lengths of being a show car, engine-bay eye-candy is quality.

This is definately another modification to add to my list...

When I was on the SCN forum I was thinking hmmm maybe I will stop modifying for a while, I registered here the other day and now I have a list of about 5 things I will be doing at the end of April, and some of those 5 things lead on to more things...

Coming up to 92,000 miles and my catch tank has filled up with another 10oz of gunk. I'm expecting it to lessen as the weather gets warmer but it's very very easy remove the tank and empty.

....The collected fluid had only just reached the bottom level of the sight window but I decided to empty my tank today. At 93,700 miles it had collected 5oz of gunk since its previous emptying in February.

So it collected 10oz in the colder weather between December and February (~2 months) and only 5oz between February and June (~4 months / 1,700 miles).
