On my UK tour I suffered a split in the petrol tank.
With petrol dripping on my knees and the windows open I limped into Robert Foreman's excellent workshop and he managed a solder repair ( still holding Robert ). With the tank out we noticed a rattling inside and removed a cup full of similar pieces to yours Robin, these we believe were the remains of degraded old style slosh tank sealant that were affected by ethanol petrol.
