This is what I have seen Tom......plating on the pipes from the union under
the car at the side rail up to the petrol reserve switch, including the nuts.
Now you bring up an interesting point, were those pipes (from union to
reserve switch) brass instead of copper like the lines from the tank to the
unions?
