I will have to drop the tail shaft and bash the tank in.
Have you flipped the tail shaft already?

I had some fuel transfer pumps fail on another 4x4 of mine and the guys at Brown Davis used
aviation fuel pumps, which according to them were better than OE pumps.
They never failed in all the time I owned it. lol

Exactly what I meant. Tank is way too close to the driveshaft. Not a good idea IMO.

Whoops, missed your post above mine.
Yeah mate, but I have to find a pump that's suitable, pressure wise. I'm not sure I can use any pump.
For example I'm not sure whether I can use an external(or even internal) pump from R31 Skyline or a VL Commodore.
I think EFI pumps are high pressure pumps, probably not suitable for carby RB30.
I most certainly have to fabricate an adapter plate for the top of the tank as well.

Not sure how your existing pump looks at the moment, I figured it'd just be attached to the sender? Couldn't you reuse the sender itself? As for which pump, I'm not sure, I'm sure LRA or similar would be able to advise you on that.

So as mentioned that's a typical Lra sub tank..
Your on the right track, drop tail first and then front..
There are 2 bolts on either end..
Imo fit an external pump..
But does yours direct feed the carby or simply transfer to the main tank? Or is yours dual fuel?

Dual fuel. No sub tank. The 68 litre LRA tank showing in the pictures is the only petrol tank.
I reckon they removed the second(sub?) tank that used to be in the rear where the LPG tank is now.
Yeah, I like the idea of the external pump and having a spare in the car all the time(for outback treks).
There're quite a few options on fleabay.
ATM, I'm trying to find the max/min pressure rating and flow rating of the stock pump.
I'm pretty sure the pump in that LRA tank is the stock one.

The stock sender isn't that accurate. The dial doesn't start moving until half a tank or so.
It could be the dial itself is faulty.
I reckon I find out soon.

Yea so stock rear main becomes a gas tank.
Gq never had a sub tank option in australia. So this is purely an aftermarket fit out.
Imo best option is external..
You just gotta get the old one out..
@Bloodyaussie would be the man who knows rates of flow etc
