Subject:Need a suggestion for 2WD Auxiliary fuel tank filler neck location
From:David Marshall
Date:Tue, 8 Feb 2005 18:48:36 -0800

I now have my prototype 70L auxiliary fuel tank ready for my TriStar Syncro.
This tank is made from aluminium, has a great "trap" so you want starve of
fuel going down a long hill when the tank is almost empty, has a fuel lever
sender so I can see how much fuel there is in there and best of all a
coolant operated heat exchanger so I can warm the fuel up for running veggie
oil in my TDI.  I have a 2WD filler neck assembly that I will use to fill
the tank.  The tank mounts under the sliding door between the inner and
outer "frame".  This all works very well for a Syncro as the original fuel
tank is filled at the rear of the van and there is a blank spot where there
2WD filler neck is supposed to be.  Installing a 2WD filler next is a very
logical thing to do here.  But, what would be the best and neatest way of
filling this tank on a 2WD?  There is no real good place to mount a filler
neck assembly... or is there?
