Today the sun was shining, so to put a few more miles on the seven we went to Thirsk on some little roads. about 45 miles round trip and that makes 244 miles done since everything was re-built.
Stopping at Canal garage at Boroughbridge for petrol I asked him to see it it would take 2 or 3 gallons. Nineteen litres later the tank was full and as I put the filler cap on we saw the leak. It was pouring out petrol under the tank somewhere. I dived under and put my finger over the open pipe on the tank. He brought a draining tray out and I took my finger off to let about half a cup more petrol out, then it stopped. Does the overflow always pour a couple of litres on the floor if you brim the tank?
Anyway, the sun shone and we had a good afternoon out.
