BA & Mudski at work in the +40c heat today. Good to see BA put the beer straight into the fridge and wasn't tempted.
Yeah but I had to beat Mudski away from my fridge!!!!!!Quote:

I dont want to rush but I need to get on with work and also next week have to empty out my mums house which is a nightmare.
Thanks again guys for your help today.
Lol. You beat like a girl. I still got to your fridge. It was 40c too and i needed to be hydrated.
G'day Lads,
All the best today with the install, i really feel for you folks, with all the bloody hot weather that has struck you folks.
PS, keep re-hydrated with the beer that Apollofish supplied, if you have already run-out, please contact Apollofish ASAP, as he will deliver you lads another carton free of charge! lol
Regards,
RLI
I will be not doing anything today as I have a sick little boy to look after and Margherita and Erica are off to a kids party.
Pretty much stuff all sleep to so brain is not plugged in!!!
Might potter later today when family comes back and cool change comes, if it does??
Sure guys, as soon as the pallet Paul told me he sent for you all arrives.Quote:

Take it easy and setup up a water mister to run under.
Cheers

This would be so much easier and quicker to do??? any thoughts.
I cou8ld be wrong but I think it may hang down too low. I'm guessing you were thinking of putting it between the upper control arm cross member and the transfer caseQuote:

Could you take advantage of the wiring for the gas to get a normal 95L tank and run the two tanks completely separate?
Hmmm interesting..???Quote:

I wouldn't a clue how it would work but surely you could grab a standard 95L tank with fuel pump and use the gas wiring to switch between the two tanks? Somehow.
This is my plan when I get it done. Just run 2 Fuel solinodes (feed and return), and a twin pole switch thingy'ma'bob so you run the solinodes of one side and your Fuel gauge off the other..Quote:

But I can see why George says about over filling the sub maybe. You'll have to check heights to be sure..
Another way you could setup is a simple fuel pump on a switch. So fuel transfers from sub to main. Join both tanks via a top balance line so if you forget your transferring the over flow from the smaller tank keeps circulating until you turn the pump Off..
A switch with a light to show activation would be recommend I'd think..
Possibly also a low Fuel cut off so you don't burn out the pump..
I have already purchased what I was told I needed by Patrolapart??
Now this is where I think I have been given a bum steer.... In my LR tank I have a high pressure pump built into the gauge and now they have given me.. one lower pressure inline pump (3-5psi) as the transfer pump.
Now the high pressure pump I have will not fit into the set up they have given me?? as I never had an original tank and pump set up I am not 100% sure what was there.
I got the twin filler neck and all the hoses to plumb it but dont think I have the right pump set up... confusing?
BA,
Seems like you have a main fuel pump for the main tank, and a smaller transfer pump to transfer from the Sub to the Main, just like a GU...
Twin fillers as you have a fill hose to each tank.
Mic
GU uses the same fuel pump for standard and long range main tank and I remember the GQ did the same
No I have a high pressure pump inbuilt to my long range tank that I have had all along but this does not fit into the main tank I purchased???Quote:

All the research I have done points to them giving me a fuel sender from a tb42s which is much different to mine.. and as I knew mine is the bloody expensive pump?
Now I have to bloody drive back out to Patrolapart again.... fwark this shits me..wasted bloody time!!!!!
Think I may deal with someone else in future.
Transfer pump is in the auxillery tank and pumps to mains
80 series use 2 separate systems don't they ??
Can't you put the low pressure pump into the long range sender units and your high pressure pump into the other sender for the standard tank ???
I still need to have the tb42e sender unit to go in the main tank... not the one out of a tb42sQuote:

Put a zd30 in it
No I need to return some stuff to them and sort this out first hand.
I know what the problem is and if the tanks were there same size I could just use the main as the aux but I think that would give me the shits!!!!!!
This is the sender they gave me.. has a large tube and small Attachment 40520
The is the efi oneAttachment 40521
The one on the right is the one out of my long range tank and looks like it was the original unit that is cut down to sizeAttachment 40522
Attachment 40523
The wrong one looks like a TD setup..
We don't run in tank pumps as ours are on the motor..
Still can be used if you setup a transfer pump setup.
If you run both tanks to motor then you'll need 2 high pressure pumps..
Yeah but look at height difference ??? Matfew may have what I need.. he will look tomorrow.Quote:
