[QUOTE="Piston Pete, post: 98684, member: 361"] Hi there I am wondering ( hoping !) that deep in the recesses of some club members shed ,there my be lying a forgotten oil tank - hope springs eternal. eh. I recently sent off my Comet's oil tank to Conways for de-sludging ,however on its journey from Ireland to Conways, some sludge must have leaked out ,and rather than quarantine the item, or place a call to me or Conways, Parcel Force "destroyed" the item .........hmmm. Quite how ,where and on who's command it was destroyed remains a mystery, as trying to get any information or help is proving nigh-on impossible. Steve at Conways went above and beyond in trying to find out what misfortune befell the tank , but there comes a point when you just have to shrug your shoulders and move on. The head and barrel sent at the same time arrived - and the "destruction" of the tank only became apparent a week after the other packages arrived. No communication from the courier - nothing ............grrrrrr Anyway - is there a chance that someone has a surplus tank that they would be willing to part with ( before I look at trying to source a new one) Peter Redmond [/QUOTE]
