Sorry for any confusion, both of my tanks are removed from the boat for filling at the garage as boatyards on the Broads don't stock petrol, so I don't decant from one tank to the other. I can't ever remember seeing a small 2 stroke that runs on anything but premixed fuel.

Interesting banter. Now if I can just find a braked single axled trailer with rollers! I will also look into fitting the internals to the brake drums, on my present trailer, and buying a new hitch.

Towsure (http://www.towsure.com/) stock lots of trailer parts.

Brakes, even for cars, tend to be manufactured by specialist firms like Lockheed and Girling, they may be a good place to start looking.
