The fuel tank is supplied by the Parts Dept. together with the multifunction valves (which cannot be dismantled) and the immersed pump assembly complete with gauge. Therefore if the tank has to be replaced it is not possible to reuse the immsered pump assembly complete with gauge removed, but a new pre-assembled unit consisting of a tank - pump - multifunction valves supplied by the Parts Dept. must be fitted.
