some advice for anyone who is contemplating doing it

don't
nearly 4 horus later the fooker has just about been taken apart and i've just about figured out how the pipes go back again

it was looking like violence was needed so out came the hammer
and then it wasn't used as i decided it was going to cost me a fuel tank (they are plastic) so some general ongabonga type caveman style shaking of various bits and pipes ensued and, eventually, the filler pipe came out of the tank

if it had come out in the first place the job would have been done by now, but no, i've had to go and break the little plastic locking ring on the end as well

food then back to it
