What voltage does it need? Now I also found out I need the rubber gasket between the dry side and the glass I didnt get that part

Yeah I read the manual and the way it words it that every tank needs the rubber on it. I guess I'll have to call them. I wonder if any piece of thin rubber would work like intertube rubber

i took a look around and couldnt figure it out either ...maybe it is always used for the mp40 and only sometimes for the mp10 ....probably best to just call them

I've managed to get power supplies on ebay that work. Voltage has to be the same, amperage can be higher. The plug is the tricky part though. But if Don is using the universal, he should know what size the tip is...

On that gasket. Email them and ask if they can send it cheap. I did, and they sent it in an envelope for less than a buck. Great customer service from those guys when you ask in my experience.

mine is only a 12v ...when i got mine the guy told me it was fine and that it just wouldnt charge all the way ...he said that he asked the ecotech guys when they were at his house ....could be blowing smoke but i believed him

I've even bought the right voltage/amperage ones and then bought the right tip at Radio Shack and spliced it on when I don't know the tip size. Or take it down to the Shack and figure out the tip size.

I would just get it for $15. By the time you go through all the other hassle it won't be worth it. They are usually $5-$10 on Ebay
