Hi
I had my Fuel tank cleaned de-rusted and rust protection, my problem is the siphon in not working.
Anyway of modification to get round this problem. The fuel doesn't transfer to the other side in tank.

hi Kumar, i can only suggest to check the interconnection pipe between the 2 halves of the tank.
Could you share how you cleaned and derusted the tank please ?
E10 petrol has caused the tank, pump and fuel sender to go bad, really bad.
