My next comment may or may not help……. It may be possible that large grommets of the type needed are available from boat chandlers? Martin Scott

The version 1.0 copy briefly states Fiesta MK1 filler pipe must be used and cut and sleeved - no real detail just a photo..An obviously later pdf copy (but version not stated) of manual I have gives much more detail of cutting, sleeving and joining metal filler pipe with hose and clips. On my car which was a factory build (around late 1991 with Mk2 XR2 donor) the metal filler pipe is one continuous pipe - the Ford pipe has clearly been carefully cut and welded (very neatly) in several places with breather pipe correctly preserved. There are no sleeves. My guess is QSC did this as an improved solution over joining sections with flexi hose and jubilee clips. The seal is a puzzle - it has no code markings. it does not match the standard ones I have found for Fiesta, it could be custom seal or a pattern tank (unlikekly). My guess is it is from another Ford of similar era ....? If all else fails I could always get a new seal made using old one as model. ps If anyone has a MK2 top sender type tank lying around could they please measure the inside diameter of the filler pipe aperture - this would help me confirm if my tank is standard.

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?
