Thanks everyone for the info - will go for a 27" or 36" one.

Now to the task of removing the old one..... penetrating oil, wait, more
oil, wait, tap gently, more oil, wait, attach spanner, pray!

Hitting the spanner with a hammer is less likely to crumple the tank than
applying high sustained force IME... Good luck!



Give some thought to preventing the replacement one from getting stuck -
Copaslip on the threads would be my choice. The washer does the sealing -
not the thread.
