Be aware though that if you overfill your tank you could end up losing fuel through the fuel cap if it seals anything like mine! My earlier Z with a non baffled tank worked well from about 2/3 of a tank down to just under half when it used to have fuel pickup issues around some corners. There is a BP 98 station just a couple of kms down the road so not far to go if you start to run low.
They also used to have a drum or two of avgas out the back that is hand pumped if you want it.old_datto_fan wrote:Be aware though that if you overfill your tank you could end up losing fuel through the fuel cap if it seals anything like mine!

Sorry but I won't be there anymore owing to needing to attend my father-in-laws funeral on Saturday. I am just about to ring Ascot and cancel my booking so if anyone needs a unit you had better be in quick. (And in case anyone is confused, I did have 2 units booked but one has already gone to Allan Lewis).
Really sorry to be missing the event and I hope it goes well for everyone.
