[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 135552, member: 456"] Re #15 above. The restriction in the oil flow can be caused by the cut off valve which is fitted into the oil feed in order to allow the pipe to be removed from the tank without draining the oil. You can just remove that valve and then you have the whole inner diameter of the connectors and tubes to allow oil to flow. When you have it all apart it is worth while checking that when the oil pipe is inserted into the tank fitting that the valve is pushed fully up and that the holes in the valve are fully open. The thing to think about is that the lower end of the main feed pipe interfaces to a banjo bolt which has four rather small holes and their total area is likely to be less than the internal area of the pipe.
