need a small oddball piece....

[Ghostrider 67]

Hey fellas. I have a problem that requires the help of a skilled TIG welder. I need a 'Y' pipe but it's a little one. Not for exhaust. What I have is a fuel cell with dual filler pipes, one from each side of the car. Where they terminate over the fuel cell filler opening I need a Y pipe that I can put a hunk of hose on each of the three ends and marry up the pipes to the tank. The pipe needs to be 1 5/8" ID. I think, i'll check that measurement. Anyway, such a thing doesn't exist, at least that I can find anyway so one needs to be made that won't leak fuel.

Let me know if you have the skills and are willing.

If it's a single fuel cell why would you not use a single filler & cap the second filler? I'm guessing the second filler is intended to allow you to fill from either side of the car?

 

[Ghostrider 67]

yes, but mostly symmetry..lefty & right...

Symmetry as I remember .

The filler caps are motorcycle pop up and are on top of each quarter panel near the front corners of the trunk lid.

What confused me is the way this is worded.... "What I have is a fuel cell with dual filler pipes" I thought you were using one cap to feed two fillers on the fuel cell..... Now I understand....

Ghost can you just get a second filler that fits the tank and make it a mirror image of the drivers side.

Have you considered using something like a silicone hose and a hose barb on the fuel cell filler cap.

Do you mean drill a fill hole in the tank and weld on a collar to connect to? No.

Does silicone hold up to gasoline? No vapors through it? I would even consider a TEE rather than a Y.

 

[aeon280]

Yes silicone will hold up to fuel in that capacity and is impervious to vapors. Makes great vacuum hose.

These guys have a pretty good selection of hoses.

I checked them out, thanks. Will ask them if they can make one for me.

They make replacement fillers for different types of fuel cells. Look at ATL website, you would just cut an exact hole and the neck bolts down to the cell, no welding required.
So if I'm understanding correctly you want to be able to fill the cell from either side of the car, correct? May need to install a check valve to prevent pushing fuel out the other side...

I will check them out as that would be the easiest fix. Thanks.

That good or bad?

 

[Ghostrider 67]

I think this is the way to go, just insert another filler neck into the tank on the right half and run that up to the other cap.

Thanks everyone!

The one from Adler is good.
