New ally LH tank arrived the next day from SJS. The 4 bolts holding it in place have to be changed from 1/4" UNF to 6mm metric. Otherwise it went straight in after the rear was jacked up high enough.
BUT
There has always been a smell of petrol in the garage which I attributed to me draining both tanks regularly to remove water.
When draining the RH tank, there was petrol all around the brass drain plug. I had fitted a new fabric washer when I last tightened the brass drain plug but still petrol was dripping very slowly from the area.
It turns out that there is a hairline crack where the ring the drain plug screws into. It seems by constantly undoing and tightening the drain plug, I have caused the ring the leak where it is presumably braised to the steel bottom of the tank.
Another new ally tank needed, this time for the RHS.
