Help - dribble oil tank union!
Discussion
I’ve got a dribble. Not surprising at my age but that’s another story….
But so has my tank, from the outlet. It seems like it’s coming from the mating surface from the big nut like thing and the huge metal washer it’s screwed in against, or even possibly between said washer and the tank body itself…
Questions: does the huge nut like union have a left hand thread? I tried a tentative undo (clockwise) and can’t get the bugger to shift. Am I likely to knacker the moulded in fitting in the tank if I turn too hard / the wrong way?
Thought I’d ask before I get the stilson on it….
TIA Tim
