It's a blue thing that screws on to the back...

if it seems better that way then replace your tap.

check your oil level too and isnt full of fuel due to a leaky "modded" tap
Ok cool, will do, thanks Paul

Sorry abit off subject but you guys only get 200Km out of tank, I havent had my NC35 long (only a couple of weeks) but i brimmed the tank and got 235 miles before i had to switch to reserve and mines been converted to mph aswell. Or do you think the trip still reads in KM?

Sounds to me like your trip counter is still in kilometres. There's no way you'd get 235 miles out of a standard tank, unless it happened to be downhill all the way and you had the clutch pulled in.
