Fuel tank plumbing to the cap
Hi All
What would be the remedy to this, the pump pressure at the filling station is too high when I am filling up my tank I have too be very careful to
operate pump very slowly otherwise the pump cuts out.

Pretty much standard on a seven I'm afraid! Ideally you would need to change the position of the fuel cap to make the problem better

You need a 1" breather from the top of the tank to the top of the neck, this allows the fuel coming in too push the air out.
Standard arrangement on all tin tops.

I moved my filler from the back panel to the top of the scuttle so the pipe was going straight down into the tank, that helped a canny bit.

Mine is on the top and straight in. The problem is that it can be filled right to the top. ... ! Lucky that it doesn't last too long

Try a fat pipe inside the filler pipe just down passed the top of the tank and see if that helps.
