inside door, just under the lock catch

Hello

Mine is where my old rear right light was. Just behind the boot lid.

Unless u are going to get rid of ur lights it wouldnt work.

I really like it on the pillar inside the door, but its been done a fair few times now.

its an awkward one for you as you have 5 doors it narrows the door closures....

Nout sure what to suggest.

Well the idea was the rear wheel arch, but when the 16's go on im sure itll hit it! especially with passengers! i think il have 2 run a hose 2 the front door :?
I got the filler neck and cap, il be using 1 from a bedford rascal as its small!
thanx 4 all the ideas! More welcome!

she must have been blonde, since you can switch the ptrol thingy off from behind the desk thingy.

And it wouldn't BE a stupid thing to think that, since it's not exactly a normal thing to do, having the fule filler there.

Also, i dont like them relocated in the door shut, its a pain in the arse having to have your door wide open so you can get the fuel thingy in there to fill up. Would be funny if your fuel gauge stopped working too, and you overfilled it.

It'd also take a forest of magic trees (See what I've done there?...) to get rid of the petrol smell from the interior of your car everytime you fill up.

didnt someone have a fuel tank made up to fit in the spare wheel well of their nova?

it looked mint, a chrome fuel tank, but theyd have to open the boot and poor it in!
