  3. It should be like this, your translator picked the wrong word, it’s “cock” not “crane”, for Christ’s sake if you’re ever on a British building site don’t tell anyone you like their cock :) 51C881C1-651A-4593-A77C-8FDAC4E74D69.png

  4. Thank’s Mark9 , i’l try too remember that! The plastic thing on the top i presume is a filter, i had too remove mine since the hole in the tank is too small.
    Question number 2: Should i fit the nut on the fuel tank or the ”cock” first?

  5. Never fitted one but I guess it’s best to fit the nut onto the cock first then turn the whole assembly onto the tank ensuring you’ve got plenty of threads in the nut from the cock and the fitting on the tank, ideally use some PTFE tape on the threads as well rather than just relying on the washers to obtain a seal.
     
  6. I would put the nut on the tank, half way along its thread. Hold it with a spanner so it doesn't move, then put the tap/cock on, adjusting as necessary, to get the fuel spigot where you want it. PTFE, a good idea

    Good luck
