thanks uncle and welcome back to cyberworld.

I'll give the other suggestions a crack first, it may not be that bad , I hope, the reddish coating and gunk i found when i took the bottom plug out, could be, I think, an accumulation of years of leaded fuel residue, that red colour you find in leaky carbs. plus a bit of other stuff. the pickup gauze was fairly clean and inact.


if it all gets too hard i always have the aluminium tank that came with the swb.its for a lwb. I'm picking that and all the other bits i came fit into the trailer , up from blayney later this week.
