Kit fuel tank

[Random 0]

Can anyone confirm if the fuel tank supplied with the 2b kit still passes the IVA test ok? I don't seem to have a certificate for it to prove its specification.

I can't imagine they would check that - what would they be looking for? It's a big tin box...

It is possible they will only check that the tank is effectively earthed to the chassis -- suggest a dedicated wire that is not part of the loom --- don't think there is a tab on the tank -- Florin wears a s/steel strap around the tank / heavy black conductor to an earth clamp around a chassis tube ( Mains electrical clamp by Tenby ) 

Before installation would suggest filling tank brim full with paraffin to ensure no leaks.

No certification is needed, these are hand built cars and not mass produced.

Ok thanks for the replies. I will go ahead and check for leaks and then fit it.

Yeah we had no problems with our original tank going through IVA, only thing the checked was the breather pipe and that it was secured with locking washers.
