Fuel tank structure

Post by adsnape »

Anyone know how the tubes inside the tank are routed? I have an intermittent blockage that stops fuel flowing, I'm trying to work out what's happening.
Thanks

I saw sometime back a photo of one cut open on here. It had baffle plates running diagonally, and the pipes ran into the center.

Thanks for the reply, couldn't find it but it turns out it was pipes not tank. This turned out to be a small flap had formed in a rubber hoses when the PO had pushed in the hard line, it eventually got weak enough that it closed the fuel off at full flow. New lines all round and problem solved
