Christopher and Robert:

According to the 66 parts manual (S. I-V), 9 lb. pressure was supplied
from S. III onwards.

Series I (welded ex.tank) appears to be a pressure cap (no pressure
specified)with over-flow in the neck, while Series II (cast aluminum ex.
tank) from B9104563, had a plain cap and 7 lb. pressure relief valve and
overflow mounted on the tank right hand end.

Anyone know whether the welded ex. tank series I's were pressurized and if
so, what pressure? (Mine has a series II tank).
