Plastic tank orientation
Hi,
I have installed the plastic tank on my Indy with the fuel outlet on the RHS (offside) of the car. Now that I look at it I realise that because the
base of the tank tilts upwards the fuel pickup will not be in the lowest position in the tank which might make it more susceptable to fuel surge.
Have I put it in the wrong way round and in there a way of altering the fuel pickup pipe to place it in a lower position in the tank? (I don't want
to take it out again...)
Cheers
Paul

Surely someone can tell me what way round they have installed their plastic tank? Just need confirmation one way or the other
Cheers

I put mine in with the filler neck on the off-side but I have not run the car yet so I cannot comment how it performs (which is not particularly
useful)

Looking forwards from the back of the car the filler is positioned to the right (offside) and the outlet to the left. This is the norm unless someone
has asked for a modification or a special request.
On another note, if anyone needs a tank modding or altering then if you can get it back to MK then I'll be glad to do it for a small financial
reward.

Oops, not a full answer was it? As for fuel surge, can't see a problem, the tank is baffled and as yet no reports of fuel starvation have been
reported. These type of tanks have been supplied to MK for at least 2 years.

Thanks for the feedback chaps. I have now switched the tank around as it puts the fuel outlet pipe in a lower position and the filler neck is in a
better position relative to the rear fibre glass panel when you use a 90 degree rubber fuel pipe.
Funny thing is that is seats better on the chassis the other way round and the black demo car at MK had the tank round this way (i.e. the wrong way)
.... Nevermind its all been sorted now
Cheers

To right Jasper, I've put a yamaha R1 in my chassis and its gonna go like sh*t off the proverbial shovel.... If anyone needs any info regarding an R1
build Vs a blade or ZX9R I can point them in the direction of lots of good info.
Cheers
