Holidays, did the Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide, and other stuff as well.
Now primed to get on with "other" things.

Swapped the two in-line Ryco filters today, replaced them with a single CAV glass bowl type. had to make a bracket to mount it, plus also a stone shield as it sits close to the floor but in front of the rear axle. Total install took about 4 hrs, but pre prime the filter first as the lift pump cannot pull thru two filters and neither will the booster pump suck fuel either. Frustrating next 3 hrs to resolve this 'little issue', but all good now, fitted with the 100W heater band as well, ready for the next snow trip!!! Oh plus the 1 hr to clean up all the diesel I dropped on the driveway. Mrs PeeBee not happy as she wanted a driver today to go - yep - cushion shopping - something really wrong with that woman I reckon.

Just crank up the air pressure in those airbags, heaps of capacity for future 'essentials'

I'm thinking you should kindly when time permits mate create a thread for snow proofing cars etc.. I'm sure our Northern Hemisphere members can also add true valuable life saving tips etc... I actually felt very lucky that my truck kept running on that weekend but will surely come undone oneday soon! My concerns were so much that as you know I packed up basecamp daily and carried everything needed even on the supposedly 2-3 hr sight seeing trips out just in case :-)

Ok will give that some thought. Our conditions are probably a lot milder than our northern hemisphere buddies, so think they will value add the most. For me the trick is keeping the fuel temp above the parra fin drop out temp. As mentioned in another post I will be adding a fuel tank heater pad or two. They are so cheap and crazy not to take the precaution especially when you see how much time can be lost getting going. I dropped the manufacturer of the fuel additiv a line and explained our difficulties, but still waiting on a response.
