[warren brown]

Well - drained the fuel tank and to my surprise, very little rubbish came out. About 60 litres of new petrol came out - I only filled it up the week before and in the first tranch of fuel removal only a miniscule bit of ...rust? Black grit? I was expecting shards of rust and detritus - but the fuel flowed freely and came out clean. There wasn't enough rubbish to photograph - but I'm not happy until I've really checked out whether there could be a wasps nest up inside. Certainly we get wasps nests around here - I have a brand new Davey Firefighter pump sitting in the shed - the dealer covered up the outlets/inlets with paper coffee cups and taped them up to stop wasps nests. I'm waiting now for the arrival of the new plugs, points, leads, dizzy cap, oil filter, rocker cover gasket (just in case) etc. See how we go...
