Fuel tank breather
Turbo Mini Forums

I am fitting a right hand tank to my mini but dont want to cut a hole for the filler nor do I want it in the boot. What I plan to do it cut off the filler and weld up the hole on the right hand tank and use a length of fuel line from the left tank to fill it/ balance the fuel level out. I am thinking now i have removed the filler/ cap there will be no where for it to vent so will need a breather on the tank, does anyone have any ideas or products I can use. Any help would be great, cheers.

fit a breather in the top of the tank

when linking the bottom you've got to link the top of them aswell otherwise it would take forever (if at all) for them to equal out. fit a vented cap to your left hand one and your done.

then again what size of pipe are you going to use to link them at the bottom? i've got 6mm stuff and it takes a good 10minutes for them to equal out, but that could be due to the size of the pipe i'm using at the top (only about 2-3mm).

braded 8mm pipe throughout, i was hoping with the vent i wouldnt need to link them at the top???

will be a pain to fill up won't it, fill the one tank wait for 10mins for half to drain to the other tank then fill up again. both tanks must must must have a breather.

point taken breathers ordered!
