Fuel starvation?
This superb 1971 ERF tractor unit lives locally to me, and by chance I saw it fuelling at the Applegreen Nutbrook petrol station in Ilkeston the other day.
Having stopped to speak with its obliging owner Mike, I was going to photograph the truck leaving the garage. However, that's not how things worked out, as the ERF decided that it wasn't going anywhere and stopped in the position pulling off the pump. With the engine cut-out, it was suspected that the vehicle was suffering with a fuel blockage.
Already running late for an appointment, I had to leave poor Mike with the stubborn lorry. On the upside, the ERF was gone from this location when I again passed by some hours later.
