Many thanks for all your very helpful sensible & logic responses - I then worked through them all & became very frustrated with myself (as everything seemed fine) when I failed! In despair I contacted a longstanding mechanic I used to know. After going through all your suggestions too (he didn't trust what I had done & I don't blame him!) no luck. Then he checked all the unions from the tank (I had already done that) all tight. Then he undid them; guess who when rebuilding the car had managed to tighten one of the unions, not cross threaded but the olive was not seating properly! I wont forget that lesson in a long time!
Your advice was nevertheless much appreciated.
