fuel filler
Morning,
Could anyone advise on how the fuel filler system is constructed?
On my tank I have a large diameter open hole where I presume the main filler hose connects. Right next to this I have a smaller diameter sealed
pipe.
I can buy all the parts from Dax for £116 + VAT + delivery. Does this seem reasonable? Can anyone give me a complete parts list?

i would assume the small one is a breather, but do you need a return from your engine setup??
where are you mounting your fillercap???
top or on the back pannell??
just because you are a character, doesnt mean you have character....
for all your bespoke parts, ali welding, waterjet, laser, folding, turning, milling, composite work, spraying, anodising and cad drawing....
u2u me for details

Pics? As above, you're probably looking at the sender hole. If dax are offering filler neck, cap and sender for that price it's pretty
good, if there isn't a sender with it I think thats a bit steep.
A bird in the hand....

sorry I don't think I've made myself clear. The fuel system from tank to carbs is fully finished.
I'm trying to figure out how to actually fill the tank up from a petrol pump rather than just sticking the hose into the large pipe in the top
of the tank 
I understand I need filler hose, breather hose, vents, filler caps, restrictors and all sorts, but I'm not sure what I need to buy..
eta- boggle, I'm mounting it on the rear end, horizontally. i.e. at right angles to the large diameter pipe.
eta- tom prices are listed as follows:
Filler cap ~ flush fitting lockable £ 75.95
Filler Pipe Assembly. £ 40.20
Which I presume is everything I need.

Yeah I meant fuel level sender so if that's finished then all you need is the filler. The pumps automatically stop when pressure reaches a
certain point - as far as I know if you have a breather and all of your lines sorted it should just be a case of filler neck and cap. I think that
both of those are a bit too expensive to be honest, I would be lloking at £50 and under for the filler cap, and circa £30 for the neck.
A bird in the hand....

filler cap and funnel can be had for a lot less surely? then you just need a bit of fuel filler hose

Okay, so I dont require a breather, non-return valve or unleaded insert? Say I filled the tank and drove the car for a few miles wouldnt a dodgy
vacuum be formed?
fuel filler cap from cbs is £71
filler neck £20
2" fuel filler hose £18
all before VAT and delivery so perhaps the Dax values are right..

Hi
On Mine the filler neck has a small vent take off at the top which needs routing via a small diameter pipe at high level to the opposite side of the
car ( off side in my case ) to end up at low level below the tank.
Does that help
