Fitting
Incorporation of this modification should be carried out on tanks prior to fitting.
Mark the tanks for making the holes for the tank fittings.
Make sure you mark the tanks on the correct faces
– the
inner ones as shown in fig 226. Mark up 100mm from the
lower ridge in the side of the tank and central laterally as
shown in fig 228.
This is the centre for a 33mm diameter hole that must be
cut in the tank. We suggest using a cone cutter. Maplins
usually stock them up to 32mm
– we used that with a
wiggle to finally open to 33mm
– Fig 229.
Any flashings should be dressed out with abrasive paper so
hole edges are nice and smooth
– Fig 230. Then remove all
debris from inside the tank.
Use the fitting guide wire supplied in the kit. Straighten it
out and thread it through the filler cap and out of the hole
you have just made. Thread the wire through the tank fitting
and bend the end over
– Fig 230. Pull the tank fitting
through the cap and out of the side hole - Fig 231.
Screw on the big nut and tighten firmly. A pipe wrench can be
used to do this as shown in Fig 232. We used some cloth to
stop the jaws marking the nut. Hold the fitting firmly whilst
tightening to stop it turning with the nut.
Tanks can then be refitted. Leave the fixing straps a little
loose so tanks can be moved around to fit the fuel hose
