What have you done today with your Austin Seven

["Slack Alice" Simon]

I have been out and about, just locally.   Only the second time with the new fuel tank.

I have realised how much the old tank had me worried.

Much more relaxed, now I have got rid of all this:

   

Two filters, associated rubber piping, incorrect fuel pump -  and, when all that fails - as it did - a temporary scuttle tank.

Having removed the old tank and looked inside it again, I found the radiator company that had "repaired" it, years ago, had double skinned much of it.

So there were two layers of flaky rusty metal in places.

Not surprisingly, the filters couldn't cope.

I think I might put the hood up next time, it is taking me a while to warm up.
