Hi there,
I just fitted a new fuel tank in my cinq sporting cause the old one was leaking. Everything went more or less fine (apart from two broken bolts, seems to be common, and a long ordeal with Fiat getting the right tank).
Now what I am concerned with is the return pipe fitting. It went in fine, screwed in, but it seems to be a bit loose. After fitting everything in it does not move even one bit, but I wonder if it's going to be tight/sealed enough?
I want to get some opinion before I fill it in to the top, now I still have the chance to unscrew the tank, lower it and try to fix it.
And BTW, on the bottom of the old tank I found two pieces of pipes lying loose. One very thin, one quite wide, carbed. The thin one is too thin to fit anything. The wide one is about the same diameter as the return pipe thingy, but does not fit there in any way. I could not locate any of these two on the pictures in my manual.
Cheers,
Woj
Edit: everything works fine, just the sealing of the return pipe bothers me.
