Not sure how well the vacuum closing design of the valve is going to work if I accidentally stall the truck half way through a deep river or in the middle of a shocking bog hole though
Wouldn’t that be exactly the same as the bath tub nuffy test?

There is nothing wrong with what you have done and what you say is right. The valve is ineffective without the engine running. Just pointing out its operation.
Engine protection aside. Be careful when attempting to cross anything that is deeper than the bonnet

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I do remember when I burst the seams on my GU rear main tank on a rock and had to quickly externally plumb the filter pickup line out through the bonnet corner and direct like a syphon hose into the forward auxiliary tank filler nozzle to get up and out of the shit quickly.
Philstar you kindly educated me then that some huge amount (can’t remember %) of diesel delivery volume heads immediately back to the main tank of which could be the filters overall rated needs if that makes nuffy theory sense?
Certainly the main rear tank gauge filled up quickly climbing out but we were back up onto flat highway country by then to re-plumb the system back to standard and use the 1/3 full to get back home safely

@MB, yes my flowmeters show an over supply anywhere from 90% downwards returning tank to around 70% on my motor.

Next project is to finally install the little mini ARB pump to solely run lockers and the old winch freespool.
Can’t really be bothered mounting/wiring it safely inside the cab as have done on other trucks before so are playing around with shielding it from exhaust heat somewhere around here:
Do any of you Legends kindly know if there is any possible detrimental diesel engine affects of plumbing the little compressors clean air intake into the airbox top so it doesn’t get swamped out there too?

Awesome Markie, she's com'n along nicely. . . Wouldn't think their should be an issue running into airbox, surely there'l be enough air to go around doesn't take much to activate diffs and freespool. . .

Another tyre rotation today.
Decided to go back through my service book to see how long I've had these.
Purchased on 05/07/16 with Speedo reading 285272 km.
Speedo is now at 366084 + 16558 when I had no Speedo, so
366,084 + 16,558 = 382,642 - 285,272 =
A grand total of 97,370km in 4 years and 7 months. In that time I've rotated all 5 tyres between 7 - 10,000km. This was the 9th time. Unfortunately they have only seen the tracks about 1/2 a dozen times the rest has been on the block top.
Not know why, but 4 of them are like the first pic and the other is the 2nd pic, can't really see it in the pic, but the 2nd does have more meat and is less cambar..
