Topic: Fuel filler lines

On our Fox the OE gas tank filler tubes run through the trunk, the trunk is open to the cockpit though various holes, do I fill the holes or close in the filler tubes?


# 3.18: Fuel Bulkhead: The fuel-tank area must be totally separated from the driving compartment. For example, if the fuel tank is in the trunk area, any openings between the trunk and the cockpit must be permanently sealed with bolted, riveted, or welded metal panels. OE fuel tanks that are separate from, and located completely below, the trunk floor or rear-cabin floor are acceptable. If the fuel tank can't be completely separated from the cockpit by metal panels, a metal-encased, FIA- certified fuel cell with all related compliant fittings must be used.
# 3.19: Fuel, Oil, and Coolant Lines in the Cockpit: Any fuel, oil, or coolant lines that pass through the driving compartment must be encased by heavy-duty conduit, durable steel or aluminum pipe, or strong metal plate. OE metal lines in good condition in their original location are exempt from this rule, but encasement is still recommended.

Re: Fuel filler lines

Sounds like you would pass tech since you are using the original setup. Having said that patching the holes is probably a good idea.

It sounds like it depends on whether or not your filler tube is metal. If it is, you're okay. If it's rubber you better enclose it.
