Marcos Maniacs

Hello Mike,Jack and gang,
     Thanks for the info........the Webers I am told require high 
volume and low pressure fuel supply........to achieve this ,seeing as 
the outlets on the tank are so small, could I run both outlets into 
a "Y" and then run .375 tubing to the electric pump and on to the 
motor.......speaking of which I hope to marry the trans and motor 
together this weekend and drop into the frame for the last time.......
pictures to follow.
          Cheers Dave #5577

3/16" from the bottom of the cell. You will note that the back of the 
cell has a trough approximately 1"" deep by 2" wide running along the 
width of the cell, the dipper goes right down into this ensuring all 
the petrol can be picked up, the 1/8" - 3/16" gap allowing for any 
sediment to settle. I add that some later cells had a left side pick 
up which was soldered into the top of the cell, and the trough 
actually came down to a point. To the best of my knowledge all cells / 
petrol tanks  on GTs vent through the filler cap.

there doesn't appear to be any point, perhaps the manufacturer got 
bored and tried a little variety.

One side is plugged and the other side (right side) is the fuel 
pick-up. The fuel pickup has an elbow fitting with a brass tube 
soldered/brazed to the threaded end that reaches down into the tank 
almost to the bottom. My car seems to be vented through the filler 
cap. Is this correct? Jac Myers, do you know for certain? I certainly 
have had no problems with the fuel being drawn out of the tank so the 
tank has created a vent somewhere if not through the filler cap.
