The earlier tank (side sender) used the metal filler pipe , the later tank (top sender) used the plastic filler pipe. I don’t think you can mix the 2 as the pipes are a different size.
Having said that, my saloon has the later tank and the saloon has to use the metal filler pipe as it is cut and joined with a flexible section. I can’t remember what i did to make it work though (don’t you hate getting old). I may well have welded a sleeve onto the metal pipe filler pipe to make it the larger diameter. I know i left the small pipe inside the filler pipe out, the one that lets the air back up the filler pipe, i thought, it can’t be that bad without it. Wrong, it can, that’s still on the todo list to fix. It was hard to find good tank seals even back then , 2006 Jim From: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 7, 2022 10:28 PM To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal @Martin - is that using metal filler pipe into a later type tank?

But I am struggling to find a correct replacement seal. My filler pipe is the metal type 50mm diameter. The aperture in the tank where seal fits is approx 61mm inside diameter. I have found seals to fit 50mm pipe but they are much smaller tank fitting diameter - these match the seal on an old earlier type tank (side sender) II have in garage. So does anyone happen to know if the seal I need is a Fiesta part or was it sourced from another car?
