Moving the fuel filler

[novahaulin']

Have many people done it? How difficult is it to do? Do you think its a good idea or not?

[bump]

A few have done it, take a look at Joff-turbo-nova's wip thread in general chat. That should give you an idea.

[novahaulin']

will do, cheers.

Sorry to sort of hi-jack, but does anyone have any pics of this, as i cant find any anywhere, cheers

[Breeny]

I have pics of mine somewhere, I'll try to find it.

[draper]

i think its easy to move it to the drivers side door shut, but i could be wrong

i might look at doing it next time im at my car

[db_1.2]

Yeh it looks fairly easy, ill give it a go soon enough, got a fair bit of money about at the moment to do it, its just getting round to doing it

[cheshiresport]

Heres mine thats been relocated to drivers door shut

[cheshiresport]

Ha ha wasnt too hard once we decide on the best place to run the filler neck

[cheshiresport]

Heres some pics of how we made up the pipe, then where we routed it.

only prob i can maybe see is the angle at the top, where the pump neck goes into the nova neck (??????)

[cheshiresport]

I reckon the angle should be fine il let you know when i get the bloody thing running and i have to visit the petrol station lol lol lol

[Breeny]

I just used a Flexible fuel hose from ATL as per Karl Rowntree's suggestion.

[draper]

lol

i like the flexihose idea, thats what i was thinking, or straight in the top of the tank ??

[cheshiresport]

Fit the filler cap in the side rear side window???

[draper]

the roof then down through the cage into the tank ??

[cheshiresport]

yeah cool

[db_1.2]

In the windscreen, back up down the piller, across the dash, back up the other piller, along the roof diaginally, then straight down from the centre of the roof in the middle of the car in clear perspex tube? lol

someones being silly !!

altho a clear tube could look quite cool, i might measure up for thru the roof or window

[hybridturbo]

Im sure you have to have a fire wall if it goes throught the window, could be wrong though

[Breeny]

Wrong! lol

[Mike.]

i was thinking about relocating the fuel filler to the rear quater window, it would look really cool lol

How about a clear tube... with another secret clear tube inside that one with some led's or neons in ;)

I have often thought about a flip up number plate with the fuel filler underneath... just couldnt be bothered to work out how to do it properly.

Here's my interpretation of moving the filler cap :-

[novaco]

nice mod, but the thought of the car stinking of petrol puts me off a little

[cheshiresport]

The car shouldnt stink of petrol it will be on the outside of the door rubber

[Dod]

Joff, have you any Pics of the filler without the Cap on it? I'm a bit concerned as how to leave it so the filler cap sits flush with the door close.

[cheshiresport]

Heres my fuel cap without the cap fitted, flush fit into the door shut

[Dod]

Ace, how did you recess it so much, or is it a custom jobbie, also, which Fuel cap are you using?

[cheshiresport]

Its a fuel cap from Demon Tweeks, and i cut the hole to the exact size of the fuel cap and welded it, and fibreglassed it in place. It aint going anywhere!!!

[Dod]

Nice one mate. i'm inspired now.
