[6pack] Fuel filler orientation

[DAVID MASSEY]

 No, not all.  The 71 has a port in the filler tube connected to the cap.  Rotating the cap will reposition that tap and necessitate changing the plumbing.  I thought they were all that way.

On my fuel cap, it's neck that goes down into the clamped hose, can be moved around independent of the vent tube on the top of the tank. Aren't they all? I gill my tank from standing behind the bumper so which side left or right the cap opens is immaterial. Dick

 It's not that trivial since the tank vent nipple is mounted to the filler and spinning it around will require replumbing the vent tubes.  If you wish to avoid that step check where it was before and go from there.  On my car it is hinged on the right.

Hello friends,    If you've followed any of the work on my '75 US specification TR6 you will know that the following question is probably irrelevant...but I ask anyway, for your sage advice:
When reinstalling the fuel filler cap, which is the correct orientation? Hinge side toward the front. Or rear? Or to one side or another?
   Thanks in advance of your reply.
