Also full of petrol for squirting fuel in the top of the carb if needed... Thanks Mr Wobbler... Im wondering if I failed to connect the sender properly at the top in my haste to get the tank back on... I may be wrong. I reused all the innards from the tank so the sender/earth etc were all working previously. Will investigate.

What bearded and from Wales? 😆

This weekend I had planned to do a bit to the Nova seeing as Chumley had been cancelled and I now had a free weekend. Sadly being ill put paid to that. So last night I went to the petrol station and filled three Jerry cans. One for the green 2CV to see if adding 5 more litres would lead the fuel gauge to register since my tank replacement, one for the Nova as it too wasn’t reading anything on the fuel tank, and one for spare...
