Ok folks thanks for all the fuel tank responses . Pics from base of LH tank attached .
The car is LHD exported to France new in 1965 to Roubaix . The car was shipped at some time pre 1973 to the USA. I tracked the car to Gary Wolf Lawyer now 80 years old who raced it under SCCA regulations ( I have 3 sets of his race results from SCCA archives ). I have documentation showing tech info about an engine rebuild 14th March 1973 . I located 2 pics of Gary racing in the USA - See attached pics .

Maybe the fuel is extracted from the tank via the float sensor access hole ?

O.P. stated he was talking about the LEFT tank. Might it be a type of tank that takes an internal fuel pump?

How is the fuel exiting the tank right now? When I plumbed my secomd tank I removed the line from the body ( that lead to the fuel pump) and fastened that to the copper Y. Each end of the Y was then fastened to the tanks with a little tiny 2" braded hose.
Waitint on those photos.

RH tanks were an option and not factory installed on Cooper S's until January 1966.

Not all Cooper S cars had dual tanks, also not all Cooper S cars are real Cooper S cars, sorry. Can you post car, boot, tank pictures? What doe the sender mount look like, 6 screws or bayonet?
