<DIV>Another option would be to cut a hole in the correct place for the fuel
pipe to come thru the bulkhead. Then make a piece of metal with a hole for the
pipe and grommet, then attach that to the bulkhead to cover it all up. Then
replace the armacord and it will look correct. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The other option that we have done is to remove the pick up from the
original Longbridge tank and replace the one from the new tank with the old
one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>WE have done both options in the past.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Thanks to everyone for their help with this.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>David is, of course, absolutely correct. I do have an early
Longbridge BN4 and the original pipe would have come through higher up and
entered the tank vertically. So, it has obviously been 'modified' in the
past!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>Therefore, it looks like the easiest thing to do would be to
try either Bob's idea for a flexible braided stainless fuel line or Elton's
ideas for a BSPP swivel.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'll let you know how I get on.<BR>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hi all
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope someone can help me with a problem I have with fitting a new fuel
tank from AH Spares on my 100/6 BN4.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On attempting installation, I have found that the fuel pipe on the car
doesn't line up with the boss on the fuel tank (and there is no flexibility in
the outlet pipe as it does an immediate right angle on the other side of the
boot wall).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. At a push I could set the
tank off-centre, but I would still be about 2cm too short.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have attached some pics to show what I mean. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>AH Spares tells me to buy a new fuel pipe kit from them, but also tells
that the pipe is of a fixed length and the bend I need to get it on to reach the
tank boss (as it is at the moment) is a little extreme and will probably kink
it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>As always, any advice would be gratefully received.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
