Default Saga continues

Got to the tank today and there is a layer of sediment at the bottom that wasn't there two years ago and a partial block on the elbow into the tank.

Cleaned the blockage up and the engine is running. So well that it doesn't stop when the ignition is turned off! Another new one on me.

I will need to rig up a fuel filter in the boot as mine is in the engine compartment and there is plenty to clean out.

Can't get the fuel gauge to operate. It either reads as full, empty or just over half full depending upon where it is wired in.
