Fuel cell hardware question ---

[Christopher Crowe]

Does anyone know of an aluminum filler neck (that someone fabs) that could be attached to a VD fuel cell replacing the long rubberised "chicken neck" arrangement used on the RF 97.

Ideally this would be a flanged metal filler with radially drilled bolt holes, then a second matching piece that would go inside the cell and fit against the flanged filler, sealing things. The tough part is the size; the top of the VD tank is only 3" wide (and that's where the fuel goes in).

This could be fabricated, I know, but is there some proprietary part alread out there -- an airplane piece, maybe?

Thanks, if anyone has any thoughts ---

Have you checked ATL, they have a mini fill neck that looks like it may work ( or Fuel Safe ).

[Christopher Crowe]

-- well, I certainly should have figured this one out. Will contact them in the AM. Thanks for the heads-up!
