Hi all
I hope someone can help me with a problem I have with fitting a new fuel ta=
nk from AH Spares on my 100/6 BN4.
On attempting installation, I have found that the fuel pipe on the car does=
n't line up with the boss on the fuel tank (and there is no flexibility=C2=
=A0in the outlet pipe as it does an immediate right angle on the other side=
of the boot wall).
I had assumed the replacement tank would be an exact match for the original=
but, as you can see from the pictures attached, with the tank dead centre =
in the boot and as tight to the rear wall as possible, the boss is too far =
back and off to the left; meaning I cannot get it attached.=C2=A0 At a push=
I could set the tank off-centre, but I would still be about 2cm too short.
I have attached some pics to show what I mean.=C2=A0=C2=A0
AH Spares tells me to buy a new fuel pipe kit from them, but also tells tha=
t the pipe is of a fixed length and the bend I need to get it on to reach t=
he tank boss (as it is at the moment) is a little extreme and will probably=
kink it.
As always, any advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">Pic. 3 appears to show a cast 90
degree elbow connected to the fuel line. How is the elbow connected to the
short fitting that passes thru the bulkhead? Is it threaded or soldered? You
could consider locating a new hole in the bulkhead that aligns with the tank
fitting. To solve the length problem, you could add a fitting to the tank that
threads in to the tank & has the same size fitting on the other end so that
it is a short extension that will reach the fuel line fitting.
