Fuel tank filler position
Hi
Is there any reason why the fuel pipe filler neck on the fuel tank cannot be on the side rather than the top of the tank as supplied by Tiger.
I was thinking about altering mine so that the boot area could be kept clear.

no reason why you cant put it where you like, i wouldnt personally have one on the side because even tho tank is baffled, you may get petrol sloshing
back up the filler neck, and possibly down the car

I agree with Jambo, I remade the rear panel and moved the filler position to the boot lid on my car as we worked it out as around 20/Sec a litre to
fill .

Why dont you just put it on the top but right on the side? This way you wont get petrol 'sloshing' up the filler neck, and you will be
able to keep the boot space reasonable clear!
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Definately go for the shortest route to the tank, this setup takes longer than the 3 min time limit to fill
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Fuel tank filler position
I'm not sure if I made myself quite cleal in what I intended to do, my thought was to cut the fuel tank filler neck stub from the top of the
tank, as shown in the book on page 85, and then cut a hole on the side of the tank, as near as possible to the top and then weld the stub back on, I
would then connect up the rubber filler pipe and bring it up sharply to the filler cap that I intent to position high on the back of the car.
I am comfortable that it will work and I don't think that there will be any problem when filling the tank but is there any reason that it might
fail the SVA test?
Many thanks
