You have to drop the tank to get to the fuel hat right?

[M240Bravo]

So I was just talking to a buddy about 03-04 cobras.

He said that you can get to the fuel hat under the back seats/ trunk.

I have done all my fuel mods and I had to drop the tank(my 03 cobra) and I have never seen a opening for the fuel hat under the back seats.

Verts or couples


You have to drop the tank to get to the fuel hat right?

[M240Bravo]

Why?

I just want to make sure I didn't over look that we have a opening under the seats for it.

He must be thinking about 05+ Mustangs, made a custom flap on the trunk floor, is just trying to rattle you, and/or is smoking some pretty good stuff.

It would be nice if it were true but its not.

It's true for Supras :lol:

So I was right. There is no way to get to the fuel hat but to drop the tank.

And ya I was thinking it was 05 and up had the opening under the seat.

 

[TRBO VNM]

Yup, 05+, not ours.

 

[encasedmetal]

sounds like somebody used to have an fbody with a hole cut in

 

[black 10th vert]

It is really stupid that we don't have that provision since almost every other car maker out there has that.:rollseyes If I have time I will make a bead rolled cover and seal for mine when I drop the tank for the new hat.

Would be a good mod. Here is how the F-body guys do it.

Fuel Pump Trap Door Mod---PICS! - LS1TECH

Our fuel pumps are directly under where spare tires go. I cut out where the pumps are at which is about an 8" x 8" square hole. I went to the wrecking yard and cut out the round portion and installed it with 4 screws holding in place.

Would be kind of cool if someone got a basic access door for the hat. I sure has heck would buy it. I dont know about you guys but even though its just 2 screws its still a PITA to drop the tank.


Just out of curiousity here, Would cutting around the spare tire wheel hull question the structural aspect of the body? The only thing i can think of is the vibration may cause some rattling

Thats what I thought. Thats why I didn't do it.

 

[KLeech]

That's all thin metal right there I wouldnt think it would make any difference at all.
