    Improved Sub Tank fuel recovery


    I recently increased my Sub Tank recovery from 28l to 34l by modifying the sender float arm and the fuel pick up
    I bent both (well straightened more like by around 40mm)
    I removed the sender again today to see how much fuel left and found 15mm to 20mm fuel still left so straightened more and added a short length of 5/16 fuel hose to pick up
    Hopefully this will almost MT the tank in future.
    I also noted that I can always get the pump to restart transferring when going up hill due to fuel flowing to the sender
    So will MT tank tomorrow then refill and see how much I can get in
    I can safely MT the tank since I have fitted filter separators to the Sub tank and Main tank to catch any sludge, I have also reversed the flow direction of the filters so the fuel travels to the glass bowl first then gets filtered so I can see any debris before the filter blocks
    Regards
    Joe
