... be mounted next to the luggage compartment?

I dont want to spend any more money on bits i dont need and i have a coolant hose the right size for my fuel filler. It wont reach to the back panel but it would go straight up.

Are you sure it doesnt need to be fuel resistant?

I dont think coolant hose will be fuel proof ?

the one i used certainly was not so had to buy the correct stuff

I do have some marine grade fuel pipe i could use, it just doesnt bend as easily.

I had to present the full provenance of my filler hose to Mr SVA earlier this year.
Coolant hose is a no-no.
My filler is on the horizontal rear panel adjacent to the removable access panel - I don't have a boot box as such, the boot is the whole of the space enclosed by the rear bodywork and includes the tank and filler hose along with battery, toolbox, etc.
Just remembered I've got a pic...

What internal diameter are you after ? as i may have a 150mm long length that you could use with an exhaust bend in the middle to give the required length

OOOOOOhhh errrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!

really really sorry to hijack the thread

but i need to ask before i forget. MautoK where did you get your side rail covers from?

and the fuel filler cap. It's a nice one, a bit out of the ordinary; looks like a boat one.

Ok cheers guys. How about the reducer then? Someone on here told me i could use a coolant reducer which is what i got (Steve m - tank filler is 45mm and filler cap is 51mm).

If i cant use that, what else can i use?

you can use it if its metal. anything rubber has to be marked fuel safe or have a reciept/certificate saying its up to the job

Make a reducer. I did.

Two strips of 1.6mm steel bent into a circle of appropriate diameterand welded into a 'ring'. Then weld together.

Voila! One reducer.

I've told you this before!
