after mags and erica got back i got outside for 2hours and finished getting the engine together.. Still need to install the new clutch but cannot do this until its off the engine stand and on the crane.

Do some small jobs during the week and hope to have next weekend to put all the big gear back in..

would have been nice after the cool change came through

[Bloodyaussie]

Today I managed to get the gas tank out and also the long range tank and was thinking about the 2 tank set up and wanted to know as my long range tank is already set up could I just use the original tank as the aux???

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 case

Nah i think he means fill the sub ( belly tank) and keep the main tank as the sub.


Jonathan the sub tank is 70ltrs?? The main is 90ltrs you'll end up over filling the smaller tank if you plumbed it arse about

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..???

Tell me more about you proposal, I am very interested!!!!

Wish I could go and check stuff out but stuck with the little monster who baths in the deep...more water up the walls than in the bath.

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..
This way both tanks are activated via switch.

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?

[happygu]

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.
