    Petrol tank replacement

    Folks The fumes in my garage suggest that my ageing petrol tank has reached the point where it finally needs replaced. Luckily I got a spare tank with the car and fingers crossed it is in fact a 240 tank ;) I suspect that the rubber coupler between the tank and the fill pipe may need...
