Obviously Biddlecombe solved his problem, but I'd suggest others check around before buying any slosh-type sealant. The previous owner of my 1952 Lanchester saloon had treated the tank to the latest slosh and I found that modern petrols destroyed it. Sometimes I'd only go 100 yards before the tiny black specks would cause a sudden halt. This despite the filter in the carb, a standard in-line filter and a modern-type filter I installed in line. Worth checking re modern fuels. Cheers, Bill
