Ok, so I put some pressure into it, its leaking through the filler cap and the pricker nob, is this the kit I need for it?...
Thank you, I managed to get it apart and found the little spring had rusted through, I'll include a rebuild kit for it in my parts list.

Thanks guys, the hammer fell at £18, with a bit of luck I got a bargain. I did have a look around it the other day but wasn't really interested...

I was thinking it might be, did they have alloy tanks?
I'm thinking about buying this, can anybody Id it please? Also, what am I looking at to restore and get it running? Is that an alloy tank? [ATTACH]
