A question re the filler pipe for the new diesel tank.
I don't have much room between the front of the tray and the cabin of the vehicle.
I did consider running a rectangular RHS filler that was say 60mm x 40mm - so I had more clearence.
But it all got messy with the transitions from round to rectangular and back again.
So I have come up with a precision fitting (as illustrated).
What problems do you see in adopting this approach as opposed to the big chunk of rubber with two hose clamps.
The hose clamps are the real problem. Because to tighten them they need to be positioned at the worst possible orientation.
Right where they rub on the cabin of the vehicle.
Suggestions welcome.
