    Not sure what Westy ended up doing but I highly recommend to pay the extra $$$ and get a dual neck.

    It takes long enough at the bowser filling up both tanks on dual necks let alone filling up the main and waiting for the aux tank to fill with an overflow from the main neck.

    I personally can't see it taking any longer. It's not like your using smaller hose.

    Simply the second filler line is T'd off the main fill line above the top of the main tank level.
    Once main is full the fuel over flows into the sub..
    This is the system Toyotas use..

    But.
    I'm now putting a Y peice in behind the main cap so you simply insert the nozel into the tank line you wish to fill..
    Cheers

    That was cause havoc with the fuel foaming up and clicking the nozzle off!

    if you did a perfect 45 V then that would work I guess but then you fill up both at the bowser every time costing $$$ or you fill both to half and transfer.

    I leave 10litres or so around town in the aux to stop rust and only use the main and fill up and run the aux every few months to keep it fresh otherwise you're carrying useless weight.

    A T piece would be a monumental nightmare though and you would honestly be at the bowser for 10 minutes trying to slowly squeeze the trigger as the backup will cut off the fill.

    If not installed perfectly symmetrical it may tend to fill one side and as Winnie said it could a nightmare too.

    It will be directly behind the cap.. so nozel will be in one or the other.
    And Toyotas have no issue using the over flow setup. It's all they use.
    But there secondary tank is the rear so it fills the belly tank first and then rear..

    No worries that sounds better. So it's not an overflow set up it's just two feeds like a dual neck then???

    Yep.. may as well use those welding skills for something.....

    As simple as the overflow T setup is the Y dual filler will be less stuffing around.

    I just picked up a LRA aux tank for free and had already purchased Patrolaparts new filler pipe set up for the LRA tank (I already have the twin filler neck) as I have been having problems with getting the clamps and hoses tight.. I often had full leaking out of the filler hose while at the servo and am sick of the stuffing around making different set ups work together.

    Now I have a very good Brown Davies tank but the filler on them is much smaller and it can take time to fill the bugger plus other issues I was having.

    Now they mount differently and I am trying to remember the fun time we spent under AB's car drilling on some weird angle and holes not lining up... can anyone jog my memory as to how that all went.

    Now my Brown Davies tank will be available if someone who is not flush with cash and is an active member who needs or wants it... A few members come to mind so will let them have first dibs.

    That's good of you BA.
    That will only fit a GQ right?
    I'm sure it wouldn't take to long to move it on.
    Good luck with your install.
