Beetle fuel tanks and CAMS
Just a quick question regards early fuel tanks that have the filler inside the luggage area. Is something out of the ordinary required to separate
this from the passenger compartment?
In reading the regulations it prompted the question.
cheers

Should be fine - the regs just say you need a liquid and flame-proof bulkhead, so unless you've drilled it full of holes (for wiring or whatever) the
normal setup in a beetle should pass scrutineering OK.

I had a zealous Scrutineer tell me to put in a bulkhead before the next event. He was worried about the air vents along the top of the dash, easy fix
a sheet of ally done.
As far as scrutineering goes though i have found if your car is well presented neat and tidy they tend not to look to hard. But if it,s a little rough
and ready then they tend to give a though going over.

Thanks.
I have read the CAMS book on this but everything is open to interpretation so I asked to see what people had found the scrutineers approach to be.
thanks again to all.

Alas NOBODY expects the spanish inquision........at CAMS scruitinering,. you'll get it!! IF the vehicle is in its absolule standard form it won't pass scruit for a speed event,eg hillclimb,sprint.It must have
comply with schedules A and B of the book.(flameproof bulkheads etc). If it's inspected for a ROAD event (eg rally touring road event)it WILL pass in
its standard mass produced form unless the supp regs state otherwise.. hope it helps. rallydave.PS cant the filler neck out the side like a 69ish
model and things may change.
