DIRTY PETROL TANK.
Despite all precautions water and dirt find entry to the main fuel tank at times. To eliminate it the tank must be drained, and the car should be shaken about during the process to agitate the sediment. A drain plug is provided at the base of the tank. When empty, replace about one gallon or so and again swill the tank and \ln*m completely. Make sure that the base plug is well tightened; it would be as well to run over the mountings with a spanner to ensure tightness. Also look for loose piping at the tank and along the feed line to the pump or vacuum tank.
