[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 133346, member: 456"] Also when the UFM is off consider doing what is called a manhole cover job, If you have the skills and equipment you can make one yourself.. The idea is to make a removable circular cover in the top of the UFM which allows one to get inside to do a thorough clean. If you put, say, a screw driver down the filler tube and scrape the inside of the bottom of the tank you will be able to see what is in there. Most have about quarter of an inch of almost non removable black crud which has accumulated over the last 70 years. Petrol, diesel, paraffin etc do not remove this. A 'manhole cover' allows you to get at it. There are Vincent specialist who can do this adaption for you or alternatively you can get drawings or photographs on here to show you what to make.
