Internal Fuel Fill

[paczowski123]

Hi guys,

I am currently running a 550 tank in my ski, and I was wondering if any insight could be lent to me along the lines of a internal fuel fill. Right now I'm having to unscrew and screw on the fuel pickup unit to fuel my tank. I want to do an internal fuel fill, but it seems there's very little flat surface on the tank to mount a fuel fill inlet. I've tried to search for pictures but couldn't find much. Do y'all have any insight into this, or pictures for what you have done?

Thanks.

Use the threaded extrusion for just a threaded cap. Then, use the other one at the bottom for your pickups. Bend them so they reach the bottom and/or add some fuel line with a clunk. You'll have to get creative. Otherwise... Block off the lower extrusion, and just run a cap on the top threaded one. And then use the fuel fitting grommet thingies with fuel line and a weight for your pickups. I'll find a pic

The fuel pickup grommets could work, but finding a cap that fits those exact dimensions could be tough. Unless I just cap off all the pickups and leave it threaded on.

Yep I'd do that.

Any insight on where to find the fuel tank grommets?

RRP has billet aluminum ones but they're 18$ each. Just Google fuel fitting grommets and you should be able to find some good ones

These are 5$ and plastic, I don't see why they wouldn't work. Yami uses plastic for some of their nipples on the stock tank.
Otherwise are cheap but they're steel I believe

Thanks Rosie! I'll look into it, if it'll involve removing the sending unit to fill it, I might as well just hook the lines to it.
