For months I have been trying to seal the fuel inlet banjo joint to the carb on my Austin7. I've tried everything ... crush washers (fibre, copper and aluminium), Hylomar, Locktite, prayer ... all to no avail. The wretched thing continued to leak petrol

In desperation, I screwed in a push-on adapter and connected the carb to the pump with a rubber fuel pipe. Job done.

That's £3.50 well spent. The logic of the banjo joint eludes me. confused2
