If she's got any energy left

Got it!!! Valtek nozzles 

So tonight I fitted up the tank and played around with the tank frame. The bolts which hold the frame to floor, do they have to have nylock nuts fitted?

Not specifically, IIRC, but if you are mounting it where most of us have the bolt goes through a box section, so you can't do it up tight without crushing said box section. In this case, nyloc nuts and/ or a spacer inside the box section are required.

I used Nylocks and spring washers

Another question. Does the filler pipe which is being fitted to the offside rear quarter need to be run inside the plastic 30mm hose like the delivery hose?

Yep, unless you're using a JIC (hydraulic type) pipe in which case it just needs rubber boots both ends. If you do that you may be told to run a second vent pipe anyway.

Second vent pipe? Yep using JIC

Second vent pipe? Yep using JIC

It's to do with cross section of vent pipe. With a polyflex pipe and too big a cable there isn't sufficient to comply with COP 11  Most inspectors will let it go as it's borderline It's worth a call to whoever you are going to use to inspect it

I see. My plan is to use a loop like the guide you wrote so I can route the feed pipe down the offside of the car and also have the fill pipe entering the offside of the gas tight box. If I use the 30mm sleeve on the filler pipe even though it has JIC pipe and is going to a quarter panel filler would that count as a second vent pipe? Or does it have to vent to under the vehicle as well?

[Kevin Wood]

Any vent pipe needs a continuous drop to the bottom of the vehicle, so a pipe to a filler won't count (unless it goes out through the floor and back up inside the boot, inside ducting while inside the vehicle. Would be better than nothing, though, and, as said, there's a certain amount of flexibility if you pick the right tester.

It's acceptable to run rubber hose outside ducting from tank to filler as long as it's sealed at each end, but you might end up with too little tank venting, as said.

You'll struggle to do that TBH. if you use liquid PTFE (Gas rated) on the outlet valve on the tank you can turn it to avoid the loop. Experience has told us that liquid PTFE is better than tape

Have a quick chat with them... Or do the calculations. I'm sure 1 pipe and the cable is ok

Can't turn it. Solenoid on valve won't fit in the box if I do.. Also I was going to run the cable inside the car. This is just an personal preference so won't be going down the vent pipe just leaving the actual gas feed.

Great idea But how do you intend to get it into the gas tight box?

Easier if you follow the gas delivery line

Box has 4 ports. Plan is to use  1 for filler.   1 for feed bike. 1 will have blank fitted and the last one for cables. I have some 4 core cable which fits tightly in one of rubber cups and I can make leak free.

Be prepared to have to prove to the inspector it's leak free They don't like it!

Far easier to run the wiring with the feed line
