LRA GQ LWB auxiliary fuel tank install manual

If your throwing the sub filler in the same hatch as the main grab the steel tube setup off a gu.

Yep, Patrolapart said they are a bit of a nightmare and can pretty much wipe off half a Saturday.

Has anyone ever had a issue with forgetting to turn the aux pump off and running it dry?

What Patrol do you have? In my GU I believe it automatically shuts the pump off when the sub is transfered to the main.

Yes I did it a few times at the start forgetting to turn it off, the pumps don't like running dry either, overheats, etc.

One best way is to fill the aux tank up, do a full pump to a main tank in your carport and time it and use your timer whilst touring to remind you.

Yeah I know mine takes about 40 mins to transfer fully, so I set my phone as a timer at 35 mins and turn the pump off at that time.

All good mate, sharing is caring ;-)
BTW, pinched two beers, borrowed a pair of shorts and added some salt to your pool :-)

Thanks Mark, gives me a good start, now just have to work out how to get the tank up into position, packing boards I am thinking.

Will do my very best mate to finally visit your Cantina before years end and help lift. After properly seeing AB’s today I’m thinking they have designed it pretty bloody well. Looks like the front can be lifted and wedged onto the cross member then thinking a little ratchet strap to lever up the back end and hold whilst marking holes then drop/drill and repeat for final bolt up maybe could work for us?

No sweat mark, not stressed if it doesn't happen until Feb. I will focus on finishing the endless air project, then am off to Pirtek tomorrow morning for the hose to connect the aux. oil cooler. Feel free do simply drop around if you have the time anyway. Your method has me thinking now, so will have a look again in the morning.

Hi All,

I am trying to download the installation manual for the long range petrol tank. However, the site is asking me to post something first etc in order to download. Can anyone help with the link and copy it here for me so that i can download the manual.

Also i am assuming this is a full manual containing instructions on how to install main tank and also connect spare tank to the main and pump etc?

Thanks heaps.
Cheers

Yes mate, just post up in the introduction thread about yourself and the manual will become available.
