Guys moving swiftly on the list decided to start the twin tank conversion having had a rear home made tank previously. Was looking at a better more professional install hence buying the OEM duel filler neck and dash board switch from Chapelgate (thank you)
My plan is to use this to wire it up to the double solinodes already installed in the engine bay.
Today preceded to firstly undo the single filler neck being one piece all the way down to the plastic rubber hose connected to the fuel tank.
Had to cut the rubber hosing as it’s hardened and hard to take off. Then preceded to take the rear wheel off to access the double filler neck pipes. Then moved on to cut them on the bend with a grinder with ease.
Having for many years a previous problem undelt with was putting fuel in the filler neck. It’s been long on my list to give the filler neck a good clean along with the tank having been used to run SVO for many years.
It was clear it was clogged up badly so used a jet wash to blast it clean. Not perfect as yet but much better than before for now, probably be ok TBH.
My cousin at the garage advised me once installing the rear tank we can use that for running the vehicle whilst filling up the main tank and filler neck with sodium chloride for a while. This would save the hassle of cleaning the main tank just gonna have a look to see if there’s a drain valve tommorrow?
Tommorrow I’m gonna buy some diesel graded hoses and start to put it all back together whilst adding the rear tank too.
