Default Fuel tank ?

Hi all,
Still into repair but came across a question.Why does my fuel tank have 2 fillers and one outlet.The plate inside the tank is a baffle not a divider.And some more cab repair shots etc.John Stokes

Default 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?

Default Tanks

Will see what I can discover, John. Does it have two fuel pipes?

Default Reason?

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

Default 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
