No my car is petrol powered, with a little hint of kerosene. I do have four batteries, but that is ready for another modification that i am going to carry out.
My friend (Penelopy Pitstop - you may know her from tv) has spotted a chinkhook helecopter in her back garden. We are not sure quite how long it has been there, but it has four big engines on it.
I am not going to give any more ideas away, you will have to wait and see. The modification should be finished by 10pm and i will update on 'drivetrain'.

If you are going to mount the engines from the helicopter to the Fester be sure to install a GPS system as well. That way if you fly too far at least you will be able to alert the emergency services to the exact tree you're tangled up in!

Use the manual. You can read diagrams?

Take it to a garage in the morning. Low neck line should equal small bill!

My runabout/shopping motor is a 1.1 'H' plate Fiesta, Halfords sell a fuel filter for it for ~£3. I had a look around the carb but there is definately nothing fitted. Looks like you just cut the fuel pipe to the carb and fit it in line.

Find where the fuel line goes into the carburettor and trace it back as far as you can. If there's no fuel filter in the engine bay, it's likely you haven't got one or it's not replaceable.

Saab hide them under the floorpan (near the tank) on early cars - If there's nothing under the bonet, might be worth looking back down there..

Not sure if that's helpful
