[QUOTE="tatty500, post: 114613, member: 2532"] Gary, I am speaking from a position of no knowledge at all of the D tank, but if similar practices to the B/C tank was used, there is a fitting like a cigar tube in the tank outlet to protect the filter on the banjo from direct access by bits. Cross drillings in this tube allow oil to the filter and thus to the outlet. On a B/C this is all made up of three concentric, brazed together parts. There is a large diameter boss in the tank. Brazed in this is the holey cigar tube. Brazed in the tube is the threaded insert that takes the outlet fitting. The fibre washer for the fitting does not cover all these brazed joints so, if any one is imperfect slight weepage can occur in the area. If all this is nonsense to a D owner..........sorry for wasting your time Regards Tatty [/QUOTE]
