Carrier fuel pipes

[Tom Millward]

I have another question on the Carrier fuel tank setup; the new stainless steel fuel tanks which came with my Carrier have the hole for fuel pickup in the wrong place. Will this placement cause the fuel pickup to clash with the fuel tank strap? Hence will I need to modify the tank, or will it be ok to leave it as it is?

I need to modify the tank anyway as the whole for the fuel pickup is too large, but was thinking of making an adapter ring for this. The picture below is of my new tank next to an original.

Thanks again.
