    Fix it yourself

    get yourself two BS225 orings and repair it yourself. Remove the two clamps each end of the tube and the plastic fittings can be removed from each end of the tube to get access to the leaking Orings . the two clamps on each end of the cylinder can be a bugger though to reinstall unless you have the correct tool. best use narrow section worm clamps when you put it back together or as a temp repair, heavy tie wraps.
