Ha Ha Ha Ha (don't mind me - I am hysterical!).
Easy as pie - got it back together agiain after popping the little seal
back into place (actually slipped it and a washer that was there
originally on the end of the little hose and slipped it back into the
hole. Did up the nut and... fuel everywhere!
Took it apart, fished out the little seal and did it over again. this
time I popped the little seal into the hole first to see if that made a
difference. Did it up again and - fuel everywhere.
This is silly!
