Fitting fuel sender
What is the best way of fixing the fuel sender into my brand new tank without getting swarf inside?

Drill it upside down.
You'll still need to give it a swoosh round with petrol, but that's what I've just done with mine.

I used masking tape sticky side up inside and then drilled & tapped hole making sure I took my time.

I guess you're going to mount your sender close to the filler cap so you can get in there with the sticky tape??
Like an idiot, i managed to cut out my sender right where the mounting brackets are so I had to make some new ones which straddle the sender - so make
sure the sender missed the mounting brackets.
I used self tappers in my sender ..

The Avon tank comes with the sender hole pre drilled, so not a problem.
It will be a case of taping a couple and drilling then the other ones, fiddly but ok.
What did you use for the anti spill / roll over/ one way valve?
Did IVA ask for any paperwork for this?
You can buy one way valves from 4.99 to 40.99 from what I can tell....
