Hi Paul,
Strange enough you probaly are the only person willing to take responsibility
to answer this thread. I can accept that.
Thanks.
Because I got no replies today I just went for it. The only fuel that came out
was the fuel in the line.
I have it disconnected up to the flex tube at the pump.
Thanks for the tip on plugging it: I will do that tonight, to for precaution.
Greetings from a -today- sunny Netherlands.
