I was going to try Abbey fields next time but at the moment I am very happy with RHS. Maybe not the cheapest but lots included at standard rate and a good service without hours on the phone listening to musak and a recorded message saying “why not try our web site”.
Colin,

^ maybe the changeover to the reserve pipe isn't changing over (I don't think it's a separate tank, just a lower take-off point) - get as assistant to pull/push the reserve while you peek about at the cable and the changeover

Morning,checking the reserve supply I noticed there was a weep of fuel from the reserve switch ,so I`ve ordered new cork seals.The cable to operate the switch is quite stiff and I am worried about withdrawing the inner cable , cleaning and oiling it. Might I have trouble getting it all back in .Its awkward to use as it is Len
