Re: Came to a halt by the side of the road.....

I had the exact same problem with my 1933 Austin 10, it would drive for a while then cough splutter and stop, a few cranks on the starter and it was off again only to cut out a hundred yards or so further on, I ended up using the screen wash bottle as a make do fuel tank with a pipe though the open windscreen and under the bonnet.

1) remove tank
2) fill tank with chain or nuts/bolts/washers.
3) shake tank.
4) remove chain or nuts/bolts/washers and rust.
5) blow out fuel pipe with an air line.
6) refit tank.


Save your arms from the shaking, stuff it in an old duvet in a cement mixer for an hour


Don't forget to use a tank sealer.
