More engine cleaning :D


Soooo.... any of you guys think this kind of clip on the rubber fuel line will be ok? Thinking of having a ally nut welded onto the tank hold the fuel lines still and stop them flopping about.

Hi Eternal,
I guess I should have known about the fuel tank vent breather pipe for some unknown reason:rolleyes: Very similar tank to mine...:)
I know you mentioned you are going to fit a one way valve to prevent vaccum but are you also planning on fitting a vented fuel cap?

If you do weld a nut to the top of the tank keep it as near to the fold as possible as this will help prevent distortion to the top of the tank.
Would it be possible to make a bracket from the Mazda fuel tank sender cover picking up two of the bolts, just a thought.
Anything you weld to a fuel tank increases the risk of a leak or failure in the future.
Also I know you are aware but IVA requires an earthing strap from the fuel tank to the chassis. Iguess you could do this from the sender flange as well.

Agree with johno,it would be a shame to clag something on the tank, would it be possible to fix the pipes down to the securing strap when you fit them.

The securing strap does not go anywhere near it. Trust me the threaded ally tube would be welded on nice. A friend near me is a professional welder and he can do it. I don't see any other options apart from letting it float around in the air but I'm sure Mr IVA wont like that much.

A blind rivnut would do that job. Installed with a drop of sealer it would never leak, just thoughts.
