Hi all,

Have any of you got a picture of the fuel tank with the seat unit removed and happen to know what the internal diameter of the fuel pipe is please?

Thanks,
B

Does this help? not sure what diameter the pipe is. There's some good diagrams in the parts book but the link I had for it doesn't seem to work any more. You could try a forum search.....

Great - Thanks! Can I assume that with just the seat box removed that I can see the top of the tank as yours is?

To clarify - I need to know the internal diameter of the fuel supply pipe (the black plastic one in your image). I had tried a search but came up with two possible answers; 5/8 and 5/16 but both could be wrong and it could be 1/4 as this was a standard on lots of cars. Anyone able to help please?

Cheers,
B

I've just removed a rotten old standard fuel tank from my ex-mil Series 2A, it's in the garden I'll try and measure the pipe for you at the weekend

You can get at the sender by removing the seat base and then the plate beneath it, you don't have to take the whole seat box off.

Tom: That would be great, thanks!

Oxides: Thanks for that although I have to take the seat box out as I plan to fit a S3 gearbox in the near future. However, knowing that there is an access hatch means that I can replace the pipe before the box swap.

Cheers,
B
