Here are some pictures of my original install:
Its a small tank, tops out at 54litres fill, which does my head in something rotten ... its going to get changed to a larger tank further down the line, cant stand having a range of only 150 to 180 miles.

Now, here is the original reducer that was fitted:

This actually began to fail, the seals went on it and at certain termperatures, would leak out gas which you could smell. I also think that it was positioned too high up ( look at its height compared to the expansion tank and with the pipework at the bottom as well, I sometimes think the reducer air-locked.
Cause it was failing, I bought a new Romano reducer. I couldn't get like for like as they had uprated the reducer. It was notably bigger, and had a different orientation for the pipe work. It also had an 8mm input where as my system fitted was a 6mm feed line.
When I fitted it, I mounted it much lower down to stop air locks, and also had to put an inline adapter on the pipe to change it to 8mm. Since being fitted, I've had zero issues.
