Hello Mike - Dave- Maniacs
In the top right of the cell there is a bulk
head fitting screwed 1/4" BSP, through this passes a tube 7 3/4"
long soldered/brazed to a 1/4"BSP M/M nipple. When this is secured in
place the tube is 1/8" - 3/16" from the bottom of the cell. You will note that
the back of the cell has a trough approximately 1"" deep by 2" wide running
along the width of the cell, the dipper goes right down into this ensuring all
the petrol can be picked up, the 1/8" - 3/16" gap allowing for any sediment to
settle. I add that some later cells had a left side pick up which was soldered
into the top of the cell, and the trough actually came down to a point. To the
best of my knowledge all cells / petrol tanks on GTs vent through the
filler cap.
The two point pick up would suggest an alternative,
right / left, but as the fuel line exits the boot / trunk in the middle back
board, there doesn't appear to be any point, perhaps the manufacturer got bored
and tried a little variety.
I trust that I have done my duty and that
this is of some help.
Regards to all Maniacs Jac

One side is plugged and the other side (right side) is the fuel pick-up. The fuel pickup has an elbow fitting with a brass tube soldered/brazed to the threaded end that reaches down into the tank almost to the bottom. My car seems to be vented through the filler cap. Is this correct? Jac Myers, do you know for certain? I certainly have had no problems with the fuel being drawn out of the tank so the tank has created a vent somewhere if not through the filler cap.Mike DenmanChassis #4079----- Original Message -----From: dbarton62Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 11:20 AMSubject: [MarcosManiacs] Fuel CellHey gang,
Just got my fuel cell back from getting cleaned and leak checked
.........either side of the filler neck there is a male .125-27 npt
fitting ..........I assume one is for line feed and the other is for
venting........neither of the ports extends deep enough into the tank
to act as a pickup .......is this correct? If so is there that much
suction in the line to pull the fuel through even at low fuel levels.?
