Aux tank hose sizes, type and lengths?

[MudRunnerTD]

Only issue with using the aux tank out of a tb42 that is the most common available second hand due to the gas conversion is the different filler diameter.

Looks like the filler on the tank is 38mm OD and the neck is 44mm OD.

So that's a gap of 3mm all round.

A lot of suppliers make up a mandrel bend reducer.

Most diys and even shops would just heat up one side and make it fit or even double clamp on the tank if using larger pipe.

Some suppliers also use brass elbows on the main aux filler hose in certain points to avoid kinks so you'll have to carefully make a nice flow direction to the neck to avoid it.

Go to an exhaust shop today mate and ask them the make a flare for you out of 38mm pipe if they have it and flare it out to 44mm easy done. Same as making a slip joint for them. Only needs to be 150mm long or less. Get 2 made for $20 or less I bet.

Got them done today, thanks for that tip Darren that's spot on mate!
Andy and I have been through hell this week trying to get all the parts we will need for the weekend. Of course it would have been a lot easier if we had planned earlier and not done it all during this week!

Yep good call Dazz, we are pretty much ready to go!

Got a ripper discount at purple pig for all of the hoses and clamps too!

Slowly coming together.

All done, just need to do the wiring.

Needed to modify sender move brake lines for tank to miss drive shaft and running the main aux filler hose is a tight fit.

If I had to do it again I would connect up the hoses to tank first...lol.

Only needed 1.5m of hose lengths as well.
