Nemesis Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hello one and all, Seasons Greetings. Can anyone make my Christmas and tell me they want to sell me a fuel tank that will suit my factory built SEiGHT (1999) It's a big unit with all manner of hose connections for the early carbon canister emission control system, I'm sure if you've got one you'll know it !!!! Vast sums of ready cash and Bribes of Fine Wines, Whiskey and Chocolates await . Or if no joy with a genuine unit, can anyone recommend an engineering firm that can copy mine?? Cheers all. Nem......

Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi Nemesis. @Luke Algar made me a new fuel tank a few months ago. It was not the same as yours but perhaps Luke can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I’ve just had a screen washer bottle made by Gareth, great quality, excellent service, and he’s quick! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he can't get it in time to be under @Nemesis Christmas tree though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I discussed a preliminary idea with him over the phone and some rough dimensions. Then called back the next day to say I’d done a proper sketch and double checked the dimensions. He told me not to worry, he’d already got it cut out and tacked up. Really depends what he has on and the urgency of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I’ve designed a tank that will fit inside the cockpit, at the end of the passenger footwell, (it’s going to be protected by a footrest, which Gareth is also making). It holds about 1.5 litres so being a little paranoid(!) ive had four mounting bosses on the bottom of it, to bolt through the floor, but also a couple of extra long bosses on the front, that will bolt through the bulkhead. (They’re extra long, as my chassis is one that came with both right hand drive and left hand drive pedal mounting brackets. I cut the main parts of the brackets that stick out off, before I paneled the chassis, intending to do this mod then, but for one reason and another never got to it. However, I still have the metal plate that the MC’s bolt to, so the bosses help clear that.) I’ve used a sepperate pump, (eBay!) mounted on a front carrier plate, for ease of service/maintenance. And of course, my design has no lid on it!! The filler spigot is a sepperate piece, which I got Gareth to weld a mounting flange on to. This will then fit through a hole, (sealed, of course), and stick into the engine bay, for topping up the screenwash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
