The picture is the inside of the P38 in tank pump assembly, the black gunk in the bottom is the residue from running unrefined vegetable oil. The second photo is the filter from the bottom of the pump. Not surprising it stopped working!

Do you run a pint of petrol through now and then to give it a 'sluice' ?

I do't use veggie oil, it's illegal in France, the pump came out of an abandoned P38 I acquired. I just posted the pics to show what can happen.
I'm very busy these days as my health is better. I answer queries when I'm messaged, but i don't post unless I have something to offer.
A post about a replacement for the boot release button on the P38 will be done soon.

Nice to see you're still around Keith, much missed on the forum if I may say so.
Hope all is well

That isn't bacterial growth? Looks more like tar?

Is that a faint outline of Jesus I can see in the goo?
Or maybe it's my first guess which was Bobby Ball.
