Fitted the porthole tonight. FUEL TANK EMPTY. Fits well and very flush the the body word, I previously had a hole there so after elongating the existing hole with a jigaw. I painted the fresh metal edges with rustolium before a nice bead of stickaflex on the underside of the hatch and hovered up any offending metal flakes from cutting. Pop riveted on with the supplies rivets and all done. Just a bit of a wipe down needed one all dry, to remove the dirty marks. If I can be arsed Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
That looks tidy - PO has been at mine with a can opener - just a square flap cut on 3 sides - then bent back and stuck down with gaffa tape
Exactly what I found in mine. PO had butchered it hence the huge hatch I had to cover it with. You'd think he'd have sorted the faulty sender having done that - just found that the sender is fubar'd.
You do realise that a tank full of petrol and pure vapour is less explosive than an empty tank with plenty of air in it... Empty oil tanker ships exploded in the past while cleaning the tanks with high pressure water jets.. not so many full ones.
I’ve pondered this one myself. The sender is a rheostat with resistance wire. The last one I swapped looked like the wire had melted. This seems an unsatisfactory fail mechanism, lessened mainly by the likely lack of oxygen present.
73cm from the side of the bus (offside) 21cm from the rear lip of the access hatch (if looking at it from the tailgate) Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
Thanks for this. So just to confirm. From roll of engine cover to rear of access hatch 21cm, side of bus interior panel to side of access panel 73cm. Was hoping to have a dim to centre of sender unit from side of bus and maybe inside of tailgate or something similar. Just to avoid me making lots of holes
