IVA Guide in Kit Car Magazine
I was flicking through kit car mag in tesco and there is a handy IVA guide in there.
One of the issues from 29th April is petrol tank in the luggage compartment. Also the filler cannot be in the luggage compartment. I'm guessing the best way around this is to box the area in after IVA. |

mine is in the boot but as it wasn't boxed in on the bottom it was fine so yes you are correct.

It would be an IVA fail with good reason. The tank has to be vented to allow air in otherwise a vacuum would build up and starve the engine of fuel. If you have a vent then petrol vapours can and will escape. If these get in to an enclosed area then an explosion could easily occur. All it takes is someone walking past with a cigarette and kerbooom - as they say.
There is nothing, however, to stop you putting in a nice aero style filler after IVA and then boxing the area in, your vent would then be to the outside. Enoch |

The only problem is the line "contact the kit manufacturer" as it doesn't apply to us really.
