Thanks for the response (I didn't get a notification email, I'll have to look into that).
Yes, have decided on a new pertcock seal kit and gauze filter (which did eventually come out - for the record, it doesn't screw in like some apparantly do, some screwdriver coaxing got it out).
New fuel hose bought too (£6 instead of £60!) and will ensure there's plenty of slack for the bend to the tank. There is a plasticky 'guide' for the fuel hose section which goes through the engine area and the fuel filter - I'm hoping to re-use that but it's proving tricky to get the fuel hose through as it is. Will try with some oil to lubricate later but if anyone has any magic tips that'd be handy.
Thanks
