Finally started my 400 today after about 6 months work on chassis and fuel system, I had forgotten just how good it sounds! I was a bit worried about the oil pressure but it was fine and only took 10 seconds to fire up, just a couple of things, having only put 5 litres of Optimax in the fuel gauge is not registering i'm guessing there is not enough fuel in the tanks or could it be stuck after such a lay up?
Also having decided to go with Optimax now instead of my Millers VSP plus the car dont like idling too much when warmed up , in fact it keeps going to cut out unless i blip the throttle, yet it dosn't miss a beat at higher revs, anyone else encountered this problem? is it something other than just getting the car on the rollers and finally adjusting it to unleaded fuel?
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers.

Sorry to here about the leg!
I have replaced all the hoses for high pressure stainless braided ones, had a new swirl pot made in polished Aluminium, fixed a Systec Motorsport pre-pump filter , new fuel pump and a new Systec Motorsport main filter and painted the tanks up.Just the new tank straps to finish now, i got some stainless ones thanks to Stainless Steve!so thats why i dont really want to fill it up yet.
Having the Airflow meter rebuilt next so then its a trip to the rollers which i guess will determine the idling problem, I was just so relieved it started, and no leaks!
