Custom fuel filler - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

dr.legal · 04-02-2006, 02:50 PM

Here are some photos of the custom fuel filler on the J. Started off with a Commodore fuel neck and had an exhaust mate of mine make up a new filler pipe. Once it all lined up, the custom box was made inside the tray. When I repainted the ute, I welded a plate into the panel where the original filler was. Now I have both sides smooth.

Cool mod doc, and legal I guess? "hahahaha" I'm just pull'n the piss

It is on a ute Clevo, but I doubt whether it would be on a sedan or S/Wagon. Although its a sealed system, what if the seal wasn't perfect? Fumes would get into the cabin.

Nice work, i always wondered what my ute would look like without the fuel filler on the quarter....and we just painted it to! ahwell, good work, where can i find some more pictures of your ute? cheers!

for that type of job mark, use stainless sheet, and tig it together, no flux required, very easy job if you have a steady hand,

get a few mates together that need work done and chip in $15 each to hire the welder for 6 hours?

you could very eaasily use and oxy and sheet, but the finsih wouldnt be as nice
