4 Line Fuel Tank

RE: 4 Line Fuel Tank
Bob,
What if you added a fitting to the bottom rear of the tank for your fill line? Then make sure the fuel dot is higher than the tank. Never done this. Only downside if that line comes off or if the fitting leaks then fuel everywhere you do not want it.

RE: 4 Line Fuel Tank
I won't have access to the fuel lines once the cowl is on. So thats the reason for the separate fill line. I can add a nipple to the tank, I suppose. I'm using a Dubro tank. It's suspended inverted in the front of the cowl. I would have used two separate tanks per Laser's instructions but I don't have room.

RE: 4 Line Fuel Tank
I could "T" off of one of the fill lines. My only concern in doing that is I'll flood the carb/engine at that carb. The cylinders are inverted so I don't want to flood one and get a hydrolic lock.
The carbs aren't accessable once the cowl is on.
I'm on my way to the LHS to see what I can find.

RE: 4 Line Fuel Tank
I have a solution. I plumbed the tank with two carb lines with clunks and a fill line with a clunk. At the LHS I bought fuel nipple that is threaded, has a shoulder and a nut. I drilled a hole in the top of the tank that was sized to let the fuel nipple thread into. Then on the inside of the tank the nut was secured. This arrangement compresses the nipple onto both sides of the tank. To prevent any leakage I made a latex gasket that fits under the shoulder, just in case.
I'll post a picture later...
