Hi Innuendo, just following on from last nights conversation. I have loaded here the picture i took of a HZ station wagon with the fuel cap installed behind the tail light. I understand the wagon fuel tank is down the back so this idea should work well for the wagon. I am determined to try it on the panel van, even though i know there will be a lengthy run to the mid mounted fuel tank. The option in the picture used a wiper motor and dash mounted switch to actuate the tail light open and then closed. The round tube carried the electrical wiring internally and it was really accurate when it returned closed, you couldn't tell that the light wasn't fixed in place like normal. It worked a treat when i saw it and i couldn't help but think that i would do a Homer Simpson with this.....bed goes up, bed goes down, bed goes......
