Could be an issue with the float not bottoming out.

In the past I have responded to a fuel tank repair questions extolling the 
virtues of using tank sealers and my tank which I sealed 15 years ago recently 
started leaking. Anyway I had an aftermarket tank originally from Sports and 
Classics that I obtained from somewhere and after pulling mine out and test 
fitting the other I see that the filler neck is at a slightly different angle. 
I think I can get it to connect up but wanted to know if anyone sees this as a 
non Healey tank. The fuel output fitting and sender unit flange are correct.

It also appears to be a bit smaller and the tank bottom where the drain is 
located is a little different, i.e. 2 circular protrusions rather than one 
rectangular one. Please see photos, the filler necks may look different 
diameter but are the same.
