You can put a fuel cell in your boot legally, but it renders your boot unless from then on. Doogie |

why don't you add a nice shiny aston filler cap I got one for my van and it doesn't fit in the little piece that the neck sits in. I have another of the little pieces the neck sits in and I am gonna chop it and add in some metal and make that thing fit dag nabbit. http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:PhC7GldhXCePTM:http://www.justminis.net/shop/images/Aston%2520Fuel%2520Cap.jpg |

we have grafted late model motorbike filler caps into the mini bodies before, they`re pretty sweet looking ,,, & different to the average Joe/Jane Doe`s mini

dont quote me, but I was told that all "fuel reservoirs" must be filled externally. To do with fumes and stuff. |

Don't listen to internet rumours. Go and find out what the rules really are. For instance I can think of a few cars with fuel fillers in the boot. (Although none of them are recent!) Like the VW Beetle. All the separates the passenger from the fuel filler is the cardboard glovebox. |
