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?
