Everything fits and lines up same as the tank I removed other than the slight 
angle difference in the filler neck which is connected  extension via by a 
rubber hose. The flex in the hose is why I can make it work.

-->The first part of one of you statements, ?I think I can get it to connect 
up? implies you are trying to install it in an Austin-Healey. Just posing an 
issue should that be true. Don?t know about any other application for the tank, 
but as you suspect, most likely not for an Austin-Healey. Cheers,John From: Tim

Subject: RE: [Healeys] Fuel tank questions I don't understand your reply, maybe 
I did not make my question clear.I am trying to find out if anyone here has 
knowledge as to whether this fuel tank might be meant for a car other than an 
Austin Healey.

-->Could be an issue with the float not bottoming out. John Spaur BT7 From:

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel tank questions In the past I have responded to a fuel 
tank repair questions extolling the virtues of using tank sealers and my tank 
which I sealed 15 years ago recently started leaking. Anyway I had an 
aftermarket tank originally from Sports and Classics that I obtained from 
somewhere and after pulling mine out and test fitting the other I see that the 
filler neck is at a slightly different angle. I think I can get it to connect 
up but wanted to know if anyone sees this as a non Healey tank. The fuel output 
fitting and sender unit flange are correct.It also appears to be a bit smaller 
and the tank bottom where the drain is located is a little different, i.e. 2 
circular protrusions rather than one rectangular one. Please see photos, the 
filler necks may look different diameter but are the same.
