Thanks Alan for the tips. I'm all for keeping it simple: no filters or valves in
the tanks, they are both directly connected to the header tank. One central
fuel shutoff valve between the header tank and the fuel pumps.
One thing I did do the other day is clean out the fuel tanks (they're about 10
years old). It was quite a simple thing to do: stuck a 2m piece of garden hose
in the tank with a hole two thirds the way down where I inserted the compressed
air pistol pointed towards the outside. The Venturi effect sucked out all
the petrol/gasoline but also quite a bit of muck... Looked like small bits of
reddish plastic but I was told its normal fuel residue that builds up over the
years.
