Trying to make my mind up as to where to locate my fuel filler cap.... I have the option of mounting it on the rear panel vertically or horizontally on the rear cover.
What do people recommend?

thanks

Horizontal so the fuel goes downhill if you run out on an uphill slope and have to fill up with a can

i mounted mine on the back pannel and its a right pain to fill up at the station, yes it looks better on the back BUT if i was going to do it agen i would put it in the top pannel

Having had it in both, upper panel NOT rear, I got so bored filling up one day i worked it out at 3L/min of filling rate and one sore arm

I've just made a new rear panel on my car and I'm going to fit the filler on the top deck corner

do not see what the problem is it takes me no longer than 2 mins to fill a 25 litre tank

I believe for IVA, that if on top panel, it needs to be sloping so its not possible to get fuel in the passenger compartment. Would check this before putting it on a flat top panel.

Anyone know if this is the case and that mounting it on a flat panel is a problem?

Fuel tank filling points must not be located in the passenger compartment,
luggage compartment or within an engine compartment.
