bicycle inner tube? if you don't mind me asking, how does that work whpes? that's a new one on me - I used to just remove the boiler stat and let it boil up - it used to work a treat, and although I never split a heat exchanger, I'm sure i must've come close. be just my luck to find a better way now that I don't come across gravity stuff very much anymore!

For bath taps - shove one end on the hot, another on the cold and open both taps - blows airlock into cistern.
