John,
May I ask where a custom seal can be sourced – that’s useful info for many a 
kit or classic builder!

Oh yes LOL misunderstood you there!.
I am sure you are right in that somewhere out there is the right replacement 
seal 
Problem is finding which donor(s) it comes from because no parts listings I 
have found specify the  seal dimensions you required to determine suitability.

Anyway my reproduction seal is now on its way so to me so hopefully problem 
will be solved :-)

Thanks - I did search the various Fords parts catalogs before I got the seals 
to try. As you say only 2 different types are ever listed (which are the ones I 
got).
But the later seal is definitely not correct fit in my tank aperture. I believe 
the original donor for my car was pre 86 XR2  - that fits with my metal filler 
pipe (not sleeved).
It is is possible I guess that tank is an aftermarket item and was supplied 
with seal to fit non standard aperture. Tank is heavily painted now so any 
codes etc. are obscured - a camera inside might find something if it was 
stamped on _ might try later.
 
@Martin
I think it unlikely to find any other suitable donor tanks given the tight fit 
of Fiesta tank. Probably easier to get an alloy tank custom made.

one for the 40L tank on all the later cars.

Several folks have stated MK1 & MK2 filler neck seals are the same but from 
what I have found this is not always the case. 
One complete tank & filler pipe I have is an earlier side mounted sender 
type - the seal on that one takes Ford mm metal filler pipe. 
The other tank I have in saloon is a later top mounted sender type - the 
seal on that one also takes a 50mm filler pipe. 
However the aperture diameter on these tanks where filler seal fits is 
completely different - the later tank is much bigger. 
So far I have found and tried 2 different Fiesta seals listed by suppliers. 
The first one supplied would be the correct one for the early type tank. 
The second one supplied is bigger OD but is not correct for my later tank 
(it takes a pipe approx 55mm diameter but fits in a smaller diameter tank 
aperture than aperture in my tank) . I think this type is for tanks using 
later plastic filler pipe 
So there are at least 2 types of standard Fiesta tank seal and so far I have 
not managed to find a seal which fits my later tank aperture - this implies 
my later tank is either non standard or there was at least one other type of 
seal used at some point in production. 
My old seal is rock hard but otherwise decent condition so I hope to get a 
reproduction made using it as template. If that fails it looks like I would 
need to change tank and modify filler to a setup for which seals are 
available ;-(

But I am struggling to find a correct replacement seal. My filler pipe is

I have found seals to fit 50mm pipe but they are much smaller tank fitting

Going off at a tangent……. Is there a possibility that similar era tanks from 
different car manufacturers may be worthy of investigation? Maybe Land Rover, 
MG or Triumph or other classics with good spares backup?
The question of suitability for petrol including ethanol need answering though.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal

2022-09-15 Thread 'chris.p...@btinternet.com' via Quantum Owners Group 
When I changed mine I discovered the seals for MK1 and MK2 are the same part 
but with different part numbers.
My filler neck was made wider with a short length of metal tube where it goes 
into the tank. Then the filler neck went inside with a short section of 
flexible hose attached.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal

On my saloon I need to replace the grommet/seal (where filler pipe enters)  on 
my MK2 tank (40l top sender type) as it has gone really hard with age. 
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?

RE: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal

2022-09-08 Thread susanandmartin 

Indeed – In my search for E10 hose I found that the pipes specified for boat 
use generally far exceeded that for cars (possibly the danger in a boat fire 
presents as more difficult to escape than with a car?) I got the hose from Car 
Builder solutions in the end, although I suspect they don’t have fuel grommets. 
Certainly you are correct though Jim, the material spec needs to be checked.

I have 2 versions of saloon assembly manual. 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.
Thanks

Remember the early Mk2 Saloons were based on a Mk1 Fiesta donor so the early 
manual probably would only mention that.

Mk2 Fiesta owners must have a similar problem with tank seals.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal
 
On my saloon I need to replace the grommet/seal (where filler pipe enters)  on 
my MK2 tank (40l top sender type) as it has gone really hard with age.
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?

Re: [Quantum Owners] Fuel tank grommet/seal

2022-09-08 Thread Jim Hearne 
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
