how much do they hold

4 US gallons, which is just over 15 litres

This is to the SRS 540 http://www.shurflo.com/pages/new_industrial/industrial/agriculture/subcategories/ProPack.html cos I can't find the link for the current SRS 600
Someone else will be along to tell you the differences, but I'm up at 6am and can't be bothered searching for stuff - Night night

PS you'll find new ones from US on eBay  at cheap rates, but factor in the P+P, customs import tax, and the fact that you'll have to get a GB adaptor and it doesn't seem like such a good deal. Some GB firms sell them, but just keep an eye out for them being sold cheap on here or eBay after folk decide they're not all they're cracked up to be in the easy-to-use stakes

That's a lot more than me; I do around three to five houses with one fill.
