Oh, Especially on Tuesdays!

 

Keep up parity with screwdrivers. Even days flat drive, uneven Philips

 

Haha! We sure did derail from topic! But thanks to all for the input. Will update with results in the next few days. 👍

 

For future reference, I've bought fuel filler hose from boat supply places and off Amazon.

 

I had to go to orielly for a 6" long piece of 2" rubber fuel tube. They said it was $20 per foot and when he brought the piece I measured it at 10.5". If you're making me buy enough for 2 at least give me enough for 2, I want the other end you cut off this one. That one measured 13.5". I cut it in half and pushed too hard on the tank stem and cracked it where it meets the tank when installing it. Bad words were said and good beer was drank.

 

When building the 4x4 rx7 for fuel pump and float compatibility and the fact the jimmy tank holds five gallons more fuel than a RX7 tank i used the fuel tank from the Jimmy and it's mounted in the org. frame position.

RX7 fuel door is on the riders side, jimmy inlet drivers side and no way to mount the tank turned around.

For the cross over i used the org. RX7 hose from the inlet with a 2.5' long piece of new 2'' exhaust pipe with a ground strap welded to it and attached to the body for static buildup, the attachment to the tank was tight and had to have close to a 45 degree along with almost a 90 degree bend on top of each other.

Nothing close in fuel hose and even the flex hoses wouldn't make the bends, so even tho it's not kosher I had to use a chunk of rad. hose. It has worked well for years and last time I had the tank down the hose had no signs of deteration from fuel incompatibility

 

Odat, when you break the rules it turns out awesome. If James Dean lived in Wyoming he'd drive your mazda.

 

Thanks
When she was completed and we hit the road I figured I'd get pulled over right and left for some reason to ticket her, But no worries I even get a thumbs up sign from the highway bulls as I drive by.

Only problems is some fool about running me off the road as they try to take pictures with their phones and once when I hadn't locked her up and came out of a store into the parking lot and there was a lil gal in the drivers seat hanging out the window as her boy friend was taking pictures
.
Good thing she was cute and I'm a old fart,

She no doubt stays locked up when we are in town now.

 

Indeed you may have no issues yet.
Give it time. Do you fill the tank up all the way? If you never get above 3/4 full then you may never see a leak. That was the only time mine leaked. Also the piece that was used on mine was ill fitted and kinked. I'm not sure how long it had been on there either as I've only owned it since October of 2016 and it's a 2002 model. Could have been on there a decade or more. Who knows? But in any case, I will use the appropriate and correct grade of material whenever possible. Especially on something as difficult to mess with as this filler neck.

 

Built in 2012 / 2013.

Tank is always full and usually fueled at 1/2 tank. I live in Wyoming it may be a long ways between fuel stops. Also I'm old school and as dad would have said it don't cost any more to run the tank on full rather than on empty.

Factory parts are great when they work when that's not the case you adapt what works.
