Hi all.

This is re: my fuel tank filler hole not aligning properly with hole
in frame.  pic: http://tinyurl.com/2e3ev52

With P-side coolant pipe UN-clamped, tank loosely in place, pushing up
on tank moves pipe up. Pipe clamped, I could feel tank up against it.
I think the shoulder of valley on tank is pushing on the pipe keeping
it from seating high enough.

I am almost certain I have the pipes in the correct L/R position.
Before I attempt to turn the steel pipe to reposition....

Is it possible the early style tank is not meant to be used with the
WBX pipes. Or, were the long pipes on the diesel a smaller OD?

I doubt this is the case, as VW changed to WBX in 83.5 and there were
diesels during air cooled production, but given that this is a less
common engine swap....

TIA,

Neil.
