The swirl pot also mixes warm fuel returned from the injection pump with cool fuel in the tank. An access panel below the rear passenger seats provides access to the fuel tank for maintenance.

The fuel tank filler is located on the right hand rear wing panel and is protected by a lockable plastic cap. A plastic tube from the filler is connected to the tank by a flexible rubber tube.

A vent pipe is connected to the neck of the filler to vent fuel vapour during filling of the tank. A smaller vent pipe is also connected to the tank and vents fuel vapour from the tank to atmosphere.
