MG
The Classic Marque

Some that used a sensor in the hose had a 'saddle' with a groove for the tube, but I looked for them a while ago and found none.

For a pal's kit car I suggested a couple of turns of self-amalgamating tape (obtained from the village car spares shop!) and that worked well, but does need enough space. make sure the hose clamp is clear of any lip on the port as that could damage the tube.

Pretty standard to look at, though bumper less as you see. The paintwork is not that good though at least it's all one colour!

Well, lesson learned. An old duvet cover cut down the sides provides a suitable dust cover from now on!

I had the same problem when I fitted a Kenlowe sender to my top hose. I never did manage to stop it, so I had a boss fitted to the radiator top tank, in order to use a modern fan switch.

Bit of assistance please from somebody who has solved this problem before.

I’ve got a Kenlowe electric fan fitted to my MGB (1980 roadster). The thermostat has failed and as Kenlowe have stopped trading I’ve had to fitted an alternative. All works ok except I’ve got a small leak (drip) where the probe goes into the top hose. All nicely tightened up (and a new top hose for nice an...

P.S.

I don't disbelieve the charge theory.

But you don't need a charge to attract dust.

The dust on the top of this tank is stuck fast. None on the sides.

The bike is smothered in dust. No battery in it. Ypu can see where I wiped it clean on the headlight pod and the front mudguard.

The filth and dust on my uncles Spit is plentiful too. Battery hadn't even been in it for a c...

Ha Ha --it's simple then. cars are like big magnets, they attract opposites. the shinier they are the more crap they attract. lol
I'd never really believed the electric charge theory until out at a mate's place and he'd just finished washing his light aircraft(Cessna) and he bought the subject of dust up. Being not all that far from the sea he said he had to keep the dust off the plane because...

There's often a very small parasitic drain through the starter solenoid too.
Not normally noticeable but it's common.
