What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Tony Griffiths]

That's it Tony, the pipe in the tank was rotated through 180 degrees then in order to fit the taps they have to be turned through 180 degrees then when I ran out in the outside lane of the M8 I just reached over and pulled the reserve tap out. Simple, why Austin had the reserve under the bonnet is beyond me.

Thanks, I get now exactly what you did. At the tap is mounted on a bracket forward of the tank's front face, the feed pipe to the main supply is cranked so that it can pass around the resulting bend. Hence, turning the tap through 180, means the pipe has to be turned through 180 as well.
