Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Topic tags in the forum Site Input and Issues 8 years, 9 months ago
You are correct. Tags help search engines find stuff.
More specifically, tags are a way for a forum to file topics in an organized manner, making it simpler to retrieve those topics in search results when you’re using the forum’s search function.
A tag is one word. If you are entering more than one tag, separate them by commas.

Could someone please explain the “topic tags” box? I suspect that it has to do with the effectiveness of the search function and so we should be using it. Maybe just re-enter the topic title in that box?

Regarding the vented cap – I started out with a vented cap but got complaints from passengers about gas smell. Since the evap system from my engine was long gone I ended up switching to a non-vented cap, adding a vent at the highest part of the fuel tank and routing it under the chassis to the rear of the car.

Pardon me for stating the “obvious” but the fuel tank filler and the open side of the hood should match.

Paul Mossberg replied to the topic EZ Pass Toll, flat tow nightmare? in the forum General Discussion 8 years, 9 months ago
First I thought it was because of the “trailer” when your account and tag are for a passenger car. But NJ’s EZ Pass web site says:
“…the equipment in the lane is designed to identify that your vehicle is pulling a trailer and you will be charged accordingly. However, if you think this will be a regular occurrence, you should call the C…[Read more]

If you are able to clean the tank and it is serviceable, I recommend you seal it with something like POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer.

Toller replied to the topic Dying on Idle in the forum VW Based Kits 8 years, 9 months ago
Assuming that nothing else was changed coincident with relocation of fuel filter then I would focus on filter and connections. Verify that hose clamps on fuel lines are tight and that filter is not damaged. If okay, then would remove the filter and reconnect lines to see if problem is eliminated and there was a problem with the filter. Some…[Read more]

So I moved the fuel filter from the engine compartment to the area behind the big shroud looking thing behind the engine. The car starts and runs but it dies on idle. I have no idea what to do now. I’ve thought about adjusting the idle but not sure if that’s the right thing to do. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

If you are getting false readings from the fuel sender check the orientation of the float or length of the lever on the float in the gas tank. I found that the float had been installed incorrectly in my 68 VW donor and was giving low fuel readings when the tank was half full. I rotated the sender so the float was pointing towards the front of…[Read more] -

Mine is also passenger side rear. When installing, try to level the tank as much as possible. The builder of my car put the tank so it angles downward toward the front. This means my gas gauge sometimes seems to “hang” and also reads full even when not really full.

The fuel outlet is angled slightly, at least is on mine, a little toward shallow end or away from filler neck. Mine is (rather was, out of car now) same as yours and others say, filler on passenger side windshield corner.
Although I have seen pictures of tanks with filler necks on that opposite corner and I wonder if that’s what you might have…[Read more]
