[Healeys] Fuel tank questions

[John Spaur]

The first part of one of you statements, “I think I can get it to connect up” implies you are trying to install it in an Austin-Healey. Just posing an issue should that be true. Don’t know about any other application for the tank, but as you suspect, most likely not for an Austin-Healey.

 

Cheers,

John

I don't understand your reply, maybe I did not make my question clear.

I am trying to find out if anyone here has knowledge as to whether this fuel tank might be meant for a car other than an Austin Healey.

Could be an issue with the float not bottoming out.

In the past I have responded to a fuel tank repair questions extolling the virtues of using tank sealers and my tank which I sealed 15 years ago recently started leaking. Anyway I had an aftermarket tank originally from Sports and Classics that I obtained from somewhere and after pulling mine out and test fitting the other I see that the filler neck is at a slightly different angle. I think I can get it to connect up but wanted to know if anyone sees this as a non Healey tank. The fuel output fitting and sender unit flange are correct.

It also appears to be a bit smaller and the tank bottom where the drain is located is a little different, i.e. 2 circular protrusions rather than one rectangular one. Please see photos, the filler necks may look different diameter but are the same.
