Thanks very much Stephen (and Will for pi!). I will have a go at this, as I
reckon I have a 20% underread compared to a manual guage here.

Repeated thanks to all, particularly Stephen Burt and John Dann.

In tests, it took about 40 mins for 500ml to run through my improvised
feed and the result?

Well, calculations said that 500ml should translate into 23.64mm and the
average of two runs was 23.1mm - close enough for my peace of mind.

That still leaves me wondering at the 20% anomaly - the other gauge (1m
away and 0.6m lower) checked out as accurate too. Can that separation
cause such a large disparity?

Anyway, it all goes to prove that John Dann's advice about not twiddling
anything until error is proven!
