Gingerfold. …when the seddon Atkinson came out with the new
E10 ■■■■■■■ we had a problem with one that would go either 10 miles or a 100 the stop, after a time it would start up and do the same…IN to the workshops, changed all the electronics, wiring, injectors, you name it, it got changes.
One night the night shift foreman , having sat and thought about all this, decided to go back to basics…he found the fault after a few minutes, a plastic glove dropped in the fuel tank, kept getting sucked up to the supply pipe, then after waiting a bit, float off around the tank

Embarrassing wasn’t the word

Not saying of course this is the problem, but everyone seems to go for the "electronic " side, and 6 injectors all awol naaaaaaaa,

The problem with “technicians” (they’re not mechanics nowadays) is that they will only do what the diagnostic computer tells them. There won’t be a diagnostic tool in the computer programme that tells the “technician” to look in the fuel tank

You know what you’ve got to do on Monday then
