No expense spared, a new 1200l bunded diesel storage tank has just
arrived in my barn.

Most of the assembly work is obvious but I am challenged by the
operation of the lockable inspection/filler cap. The logo shows
partial rotation followed by tipping up or lifting off. Reasonable
force does nothing!

Do you mean that you have to install the cap yourself? We had a new
tank (Harlequin) delivered a couple of months ago and it came with
everything already in place (including a remote level reader!).

Only assembly had to be from tap to pipe.

Bev. This is a farm

OK - I was thinking of domestic kerosene

so I won't be using the fill pipe provision. There
is a plastic lockable inspection/fill cover where I assume delivery
drivers will insert their nozzle.

Yep, thats correct - but what I don't get is why you need to remove it? I
thought you were trying to fit one on first reading . You can even
handfill from 'cans' via the inspection/fill cover if necessary.

Whatever you choose to do just take care that you don't get any debris in
the tank whilst doing it
