If it goes away at about 1000 revs that should be OK. do you have a dynamo and a regulator? Wow, if so, real rave from the grave. 🤣 My first two Minis did. It could just be alternator or dynamo brush (es). Last time I worked on such a system...

You're probably right Early cars were 4.5 gallons then the tank was made bigger for the 1275 GT mid seventies, I think all Minis got bigger tank a few years later :)

Yes, we have a longish flexi from the end of the fixed piping from the tank to the inlet of the pump. I will find a place to insert a filter..... in due course. Now the smell of petrol is resolved I am looking to install a thermostat as the...

Re the Facet, we discussed this a bit when you were having the fuel pump woes. I was thinking more of a flexi behind the engine just before the pump. You can always cut the metal pipe to put a flexi in, jubilee clips will hold it just fine. If...

20L apparently someone filled up his jerry can with water & someone else poured it into his motor.

Nice n sunny today, still a chilly wind. Working outside which is nice. :)

You might be right, the book says for a 1275 the tank holds 33ltrs and at 4.54l/G that's 7.2 Gallons.

Not with 7 gallons of Shell's finest in it I can't. :D

It seems to me that the solution to Dan's dilemma is to find a period correct SU electric pump. The low pressure ones are designed to work with carburettors that have a float and needle valve, unlike many of the modern pumps that are intended to...

Only a bolt holding the tank strap though and you can whip it out :)

From memory I think the subframe is in the way

Maybe I can intercept the outlet pipe before the metal one under the car in the tunnel. :)

Tank outlet in the boot and then should be a metal pipe running along under the car. Electric pump fine but watch pressure as it can overcome the float valve and flood.

This is true, but I think the outlet of the tank might be under the boot floor and I am not sure such a delicate part ought to be so exposed. But I will look to see if there is anywhere suitable. I am told others remove the mechanical pump and...

I didnt have a clue I know nowt about gardening stuff good info. :)

Got offered a v6 D3 someone has put water in the fuel tank dont think they like running on H2o.

Evening all, tis a blood moon after 4am no chance of me seeing it from my scratcher.

Anyone heard from @WhiskyLassie lately? Hope all ok.

I thought thay had been band from sale 👿👻

Are thay for making compost put your waste green and Brown in the top then you can turn them daily and it speeds up the processing ?? Dan beat me to it should read to the end

Morning All. :D VERY Bright and Sunny here. :) Herself is still akip, and as she has had several poor nights I shall not wake her. :) Have a lovely day! :D

Ditto @derwendolly ?

Thort cars like that had a water separator in the fool filter. Do appreciate that if someone put a gallon or two in it wouldn't save it. Had they had a falling out with someone?

Can you not put one in the pipe coming from the tank to the pump? If there is a bit of flexible then you could just cut it and stick one in, no need to mount it on anything. (Don't forget to check the arrow for correct flow, easily missed.) SUs...

In the dorm, after lights out, we made our own with pieces of paper and a glass on the lino floor. Worked reasonably well!!;) Can't beleeve some of the things people feel they have to buy ready made. :rolleyes:

They'll be home soon. As soon as they've finished digging holes in me lawn to get at all the nuts they buried last autumn.

Me squirrels gone aywol.

Compost

Vlad should be out and about then 🌑
