I'm thinking of connecting the small tube that comes from the side of the oil fill tube (about 10mm), and running that to a small box with a gauze in it to catch any excess oil.

So, fed up with reading the silly FB groups and trying to chat about this, but the new bio fuel thing has happened in the stations and wondered if it's true about using the premium fuel from now on? Just rebuilt my 65' gazelle and fitted alloy head etc. Had the valve seats hardened as usual to suit ...

Re: Gazelle heater service
All completed now. Used several orings and seal to seal the join, motor test OK, cleaned up and oiled in places, ready to fit when I've finished the engine update.

Re: Gazelle heater service
20200420_152007.jpg Goes to show, its worth servicing. Seals very worn, done well for 55years really. 20200420_152007.jpg Rubbed down, dents filled. Will continue rebuilding and updating for reference if anyone else needs it in the future. Did research a little about the possibility of fitting air ...
