I hadn't thought of that.

I will give the gasket and sealant one more go first , I just haven't had the time to work on the car because of the NEC show.
I'll probably have a look over the Christmas holidays, if I have no luck I'll be in touch David !

Regards

Steve,

Although I'm a stickler for authenticity, we will be fitting an electric pump near the fuel tank to work in tandem with the mechanical one - no more cranking after the Fulvia hasn't been used in a while!  ;D

I added an electric pump to my 2c a couple of years ago, as I was fed up with churning the engine over so much, it was well worth doing.
After i've switched the pump on and the warning light has stopped flickering, I turn the pump off, turn the engine over while at the same time operating the choke, and she fires instantly, what bliss ;D no more mechanical torture! only problem is that this doesn't cure any leaks at the mechanical pump, but it certainly makes life easier.
