    In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

    Good stuff guys I love a bit of back and forth... now to the death..!!!

    The fuel pick up in the main tank , what does that look like? yes I know look up the manual.

    Also the pump supplied to me from Patrolapart from the aux tank is a low pressure pump is this ok for use??

    Do you know the pressure and flow rate if said pump? The diesels don't have a pump but people to fit small transfer pumps between the main tank and injector pump.

    Fuel lines should all be very similar as you should already have one supply and a return to your tank.

    Winnie I think I have one of those in the garage so happy days as Daz would say..

    Matty I do have 2 lines running and just wonder why everyone I have spoken to have said "You will need the fuel lines"... is this assuming I have a carb model and not efi???

    The pump I have for the aux is an inline pump that sits outside of the tank and transfers to the main tank.... would it be better to change to a lock off set up and either pump from one or the other???

    What you have now is the same setup AB and I did with our sub tanks and they work fine.

    I shouldn't have bothered giving advice in the first place, I have just been through what he wants to do so thought he needed help but looks like he doesn't. I was talking to him by the way.

    Ok mate this is a thread to help me out not get into tiffs.... I appreciate all advice and it is all for the common good... Matty has spoken with me on the phone about my conversion and knows my budget and situation with my finances so has a little more insight in this department.

    So please stay the course and remember its me that is asking for advice and help......

    There is some advice from people that I know full well about but do not say "I already know that" I just take it all on board and use what I need.. so please be nice and kiss and make up and do not stop with your input.

    If that's the way you feel mate by all means. I am just trying to keep this in perspective with the op's budget. He basically wants to do the whole conversion for around the money you have spent just on your pump and turbo.
