"I've got to fill the float reservoirs in my SU's but I don't remember what
exact fluid must be used.  I don't have my maintenance books with me here at
work and I'd like to get them filled before I attempt to drive it home."

Where had Michael goofed?  According to Bentley in "The Complete
Official MGB 1962-1974" page 131 Fig D.10 The Oil damper reservoir
is where the oil goes.  Mine just looks like I put oil in the float chamber
(#20 page 132) but it actually petrol (gas) that is supposed to go there.
