Hi! Troy.
There is a template made up which sits in the stbd, top left door jamb
corner which positions the cut out place . Mine is available for 10 if you
should need to purchase one ? It works like a "splash" and makes the job
quite easy and the finished job looks quite stylish, with the cap set in a
nice register/ recess.
Concerning the tube dimensions I think it's a case of first things first! Do
the cutout then length of tubes etc. becomes clear. I used a special two
pack tube of fuel resistant bonding material supplied courtesy (dare I say?)
H.M.Forces! It sets in a dirty black/brown colour like " whatsit to a
blanket". I was quite pleased with mine except I would have preferred a
lockable tank cap, but with that comes the penalty of water ingress?

Subject: XS Fuel Filler
Hi Yall,
Since I am adding the XS style fuel filler to a classic is probably why I
never got any instruction sheet. So my question is how far back do I trim
the
end of the plastic tube where the metal receptacle goes? What type sealant
goes between the plastic and the metal? What is the order of bid plies, how
many, in other words the cross section of the fuselage mating area, etc. I
already figured out, (the hard way), which end of the hose goes to the tank
and which one goes to the plastic tube. I'd appreciate a detailed walk thru
if possible.
Troy
