Hi all. This is re: my fuel tank filler hole not aligning properly with hole in frame. pic: http://tinyurl.com/2e3ev52 With P-side coolant pipe UN-clamped, tank loosely in place, pushing up on tank moves pipe up. Pipe clamped, I could feel tank up against it. I think the shoulder of valley on tank is pushing on the pipe keeping it from seating high enough. I am almost certain I have the pipes in the correct L/R position. Before I attempt to turn the steel pipe to reposition.... Is it possible the early style tank is not meant to be used with the WBX pipes. Or, were the long pipes on the diesel a smaller OD? I doubt this is the case, as VW changed to WBX in 83.5 and there were diesels during air cooled production, but given that this is a less common engine swap.... TIA, Neil. -- Neil Nicholson '81 VanaJetta 2.0 "Jaco" http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ http://groups.google.com/group/vanagons-with-vw-inline-4-cylinder-gas-engines |
