Expansion chambers then and now question

[yeaitskeiser]

quick question that came to me today while cleaning my se-like most older models,the steel hose plugged into the bottom of the expansion chamber/ gas through grip. With the newer models (05ish and up) the hose screwed in at the midpoint on the ec/gtg. Any real reason for this or is it simply to keep the hose out of the way?thanks

yeah, probably to keep it out of the way. its still and expansion chamber, so the air still expands because its empty inside.

o yea i know it fills it up,just wasnt sure if due to c02 being more liquid,it would push more of the fluid out of the way allowing the gas out first,increasing air flow a tiny bit
but than again its doubtful

hm. could be.
