Craig's Panther Project -- Fuel Inlet System
Posted by Craig Hendrickson On 2015/7/23 17:24:44
To complete the Panther fuel system, I have added a race car type fuel filler and inlet. One might ask "why?" as the stock inlet is quite functional. The main reason was to be able to seal off the filler door on the left rear fender to achieve a smooth fender line.
Here is a picture of the relocated inlet on the top of the left rear fender near the left trunk hinge. The part that shows is chrome and requires a special key to unscrew.
The next pictures show the plumbing. All hoses are special fuel resistant material and the 45-deg bends are mild steel mandrel bent exhaust tubing. Everything not black will be painted black and all connections will be secured by screw band clamp. Most connections will be welded where practical and duct tape removed as applicable.
Any questions or comments are welcome.
