I'm cleaning up an RN petrol tap, in which some of the deposits have been caked very hard.
When it comes to what I assume is the reserve outlet (arrowed in photo), it feels as if my cleaning rod comes up against metal rather than super-hard crud. Should I be able to push clean through into the part of the body where the taps slide, or is there a bend, or chamber, or something?
Also, should there have been a gauze filter over the outlets?
Thanks in advance
