Fuel lines should be right. Just open them up and give em a good blow out. I just ran fuel hose between the tank and where they had been cut.

I'd just get the main tank hooked up to get it running then sort out the belly tank with transfer pump and dual filler neck. You can always do this later down the track when its up and running, but works out pretty well the range is pretty good. . . Especially compared to gas!!

This is what I did when I removed my gas ... just pay attention to where you route the hose as you dont want it rubbing or getting squashed.

Cheers guys. Just have to figure out which color wires from the loom are used for the 3 wires on the fuel level sender.

We have liftoff! Finally running. Few little things left to do such as bolt in the diesel tank, bleed up the clutch/power steering and wire up the manual glow circuit.

Nice work you must be stoked to hear it run.

Yeah great feeling! I've discovered a small problem though... Haven't had a good look at it yet though.

Pretty sure that's the turbo oil feed? It's left a small pool on the ground below the car.

Been speaking to BA, hopefully that leak is as simple as tightening it up or applying some teflon. Has anyone had this issue before?

[Chappy]

An annoying turn of events... Turns out it was leaking because it was broken! Lost as to what to do now.
