Fuel tank filler
The guy in the photo is a mate of mine and just so happens he has a spray painting and restoration business.When he comes around for a coffee out comes the list and he is sent to the shed.Marty seems to think the reason i was having problems with my paint being too shiny is i am using gunwash to thin it not 2K thinner we will try the proper stuff and let you know.But in the mean time if someone could let me know about the filler neck on my sig van tank it will solve the question is it a quick fill?

Reason?
No logical explanation by anyone I've spoken to. It doesn't seem to make sense.

dip stick
No John ..I'm not calling you a 'dip stick'.. that's what the second fitting is for.
It seems to be peculiar fitting to the Aust. sigs vans . You poke in a length of calibrated rectagular shaped masonite looking stuff .. its marked in gallons . Ive got one marked '12 cwt coupe ute' .. you can see the shaped hole in your pic .. for the dip stick. thats my theory anyway ... Mike

Dip sticks for signal vans
John , Mike , Keith
From what I have seen of signal van ( aust ) fuel tanks they all appear to have provision for dip sticks . I have not been able to find out why these models have it where as others do not . On the one's I have were fitted with a PTO off the transmisson which may have driven a generator while parked up , there must have been a reason to measure the fuel in the tanks manually rather than use the gauge. Perhaps the floats did not follow the fuel level down if the engine was using fuel but the vehicle not moving and no road viabration .
