Yes - you need to get a very tight seal on the jubilee (I found out after mine leaked when I tested it - after already doing it up with a 7mm socket)
You'll have to get it fixed thumbsup

Not sure what that is in the second pic :unsure:

All sorted, sent pics to Wayne at pro-alloy and he recommended knocking out the dent with a broom handle as a dolly... sorted. The other pic is flux (iirc) that will disappear.

Well guys, in my case, the tank does it's job; no more fuel starvation at Spa. Could drive with up to 8 liters. thumbsup

And it's appreciable on the road to have those 10 liters more. Now my back gives up before the car runs out of fuel...

handy for going out on hoons though the peaks etc where you aren't likely to find a shell garage stocking v power.

havent tried it on track yet though.
