The one is 6634 and is printed at the bottom of cylinder while the other is 20 and is printed on the bit where you connect the pipe to it. So it seems there is a 20mm diameter cylinder in there which is wrong as it should be 26.99mm. This means that one of the previous owners had the wrong one installed and for some reason it was left like that. WTF??!!
So now I need to buy another new cylinder and they are actually pretty expensive with $140 being the cheapest I found in the states, but locally it will most likely be MUCH more. Our government loves targeting the motorist with high taxes as we are forced to drive our own vehicles with our public transport being the joke that it is.
Anyway, I'll let you guys know if the cylinder, when I'm able to get one, fixes the problem.
