[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 22919, member: 60"] Found my old T35 Douglas at back of garage bleeding brown molasses and gunge over eveything it looks like its a case of old fashioned tank sealant,a leaking tap, and E5 petrol. Looking inside the tank it looks like the remains of a dead flap of skin waving about in the brown murk. In a way I am quite pleased I have caught a live one before it reaches my Vincents.I took off, stripped and am soaking the carbs in methanol (got gallons from last race season) a sort of 'hair of the dog' method. Then I shall attempt to sort the tank with SLOSH from draganfly (no relation to overweight underpowered douglas swansong) and their complementary sealant remover I will report back when completed and as time goes by (there's a song there somewhere):D I may have said it before Sod the EU and all its works.
