I like the look of ownership in Tiddles' eyes.

Yep, she owned everything!

Bad fuel consumption is often caused by leaking/ rotted flexible fuel lines around and below the tank. Every 340 that I've come across has, that's about six of them.

I still have one flexible line to replace, if I fill the tank much more than about half way I get a leak.
