We had a coach heater for Delilah that never got fitted, I’m thinking of putting it in kevdogg, will need tubing and valve but would make the back well cosy

So that last time i played here i fitted the flush racing filler...
So the glue worked very well was a b*stard to get pipes off again haha
Turns out old tank had an unblocked pipe up top so now i know where the odd full tank leak was from ffs

New sender unit made a top feed pickup for pump(hoping and praying pump had enough lift to pull fuel up n over ) ideally would have been inch shorter with hindsight!
Van started up ok but bloody sender not showing 25plus litres i put back in so hoping a drive and shake will sort that out ... and then she flooded and wouldnt start after ticking ove for about 10mins !grrrr !
Play more tomo and see what occurrin with sender... need to solder wires tomo but didnt wanna blow up as bit of petrol came out return pipe before i could join it to extension to tank return...
Thats all folks ImageImageImageImageImageImage

Thats now the over estimated sized fuel pickup goes to within 6mm of tank bottom.
The tank has been flushed and sat dry in shed for 2 years ish so no derv in there!

Now i know pump feed is 15mm if needs be ill get another sender unit fab a smaller shorter on top pickup in 15mm steel....
Was lashed i know but needed van movable(!?) So can change in future albeit bloody pain in the ass but easier than yesterday

Original di one 8mm this one 15mm and was in bottom of other tank... wasnt gonna drill any holes in the di tank so opted for top 'dip feed'...
Must work cos the plugs were soaked... just had her runnin again on 4 but didnt wanna rev it up light up other pots cos neighbour bit moany lol
Should have at least put enough heat into block to help dry out remaining offending cylinders... may even splash out on new ht leads at some point

You ever going to finished rob?
What shade of green you wearing, I’m assuming it’s a shade of Kawasaki, mines a darker shade, if going mania shall have to park next to you...
Suprised you ain’t gone for twin tanks, imagine you be able to go twice as far on two tanks!!
Love it when you get one thing sorted, sorted my speedo issue today, 9 months with no speedo,rev counter, or temp gauge, I did have a fuel gauge that worked in reverse, Gota now get use to remembering empty now is actually empty and not full pmsl
