just watch there are foam doughnuts and there are foam doughnuts trial
and error as to what type works for you.....

Yes, if you have to change the doughnut you really need a selection. I
had to cut one I bought on ebay down to size.Â* The original no longer
worked properly after I took the cistern off to change the siphon.



some are too thick some are too thin some are made out of kahoochie some
are ok....hate when I have to fart about with close coupled suits then
again low level are not much better with the seal problems....
