Can anyone help me with this problem?
I bought a new fuel tank which was longer than the old one by a centimeter or two :o. Eventually I decided that instead of taking it back I would fit it to the passenger side since there had once been a tank over there and it would be an easy job I thought to drill some new holes and reattach the filler tubing. Then I would fit another tank I was already in the process of repairing to the drivers side and double my fuel capacity.
Easy job I thought but no the fuel filler pipe would not contort into shape. Is this just because it's too old or are they 'handed' and does is there an easy solution that anyone knows of?
The pictures illustrate the issue clearer than I can explain it.
