[Alpines] S2 gas gauge

[peter at wizardclassics.co.uk]

re s5 carbs: I have owned three s5s and had a problem with the T piece 
joining the carb fuel inlets on all of them. the eary t-piece was rubber, 
later they used a plastic one which, once it cracked, split right through 
very quickly (it happened to me just after I had filled the tank, and I 
dumped a tank-full of petrol on the road in the next 3 miles. I overcame the 
problem on that car with two lengths of flexible fuel pipe coming off the 
carbs "crossing over" joined with a home made metal t-piece then a flexible 
from the t-piece to the fuel pump. As I remember it required a few cable 
ties to keep it in a safe area of the engine bay.
