I was thinking (dangerous - I know) that it would be a PITB to have to hold the fuel filling hose at the service station over the top of the car to fill the tank on the opposite side. Also curious how it was done on some of the Gulf cars I've seen with only a single fuel filler..
Thanks guys... |
A number of original Mk I GT40s had a fuel crossover pipe and just one filler cap. Six independent Mk Is (including my P1040) that were prepared by FAV for 1966 Le Mans had this feature. The crossover pipe in my car runs from right to left just in front of the seats. However, this may not be the original spec, as I know my tanks are not original. A few of the later Mk Is also had fuel crossovers, and some (and maybe all) Mk IIs.
