FIT AND FORGET FUEL LINE- I FITTED IT - I HOPE I CAN FORGET IT

I went to local company who supply fire extinguishers etc. They supplied a bottle of liquified gas with 4 meters of blue tube attached which goes round the top of engine bay and I fitted it myself. The LG is more expensive but is more efficient and less damaging to engine as it’s cleaner when deployed. Cost £185 all in. Pictures to follow. Steve

The cover is a piece of plastic soil pipe covered in westy seat fabric to protect the extinguisher form luggage in Load area. Tube in cabin covered with air hose to protect it.

What gas is it?

 

Any chance of another write up when you do this please. I need to do mine but not sure if there is an easier way than taking out the engine.

 

Any advice on how to get to the pipes above and behind fuel tank? Is it engine out then firewall out to get to them?

 

If you haven't had a hole cut near the fuel sender then it is engine out. To be honest I prefer to drop the engine. It does not need full removing. Just unbolt and drop down until you can take the firewall off. It's pretty easy from there. Change your filler neck as well if that has not been done.

The alternative method is gauranteed to leave you with cuts and scrapes up your arms and a lot of swearing.

 

I have a hole for the fuel sender but its only a few inches square.

I think it's engine out time not done this before so I will post I new thread as I will need some help. Thanks and good call on fuel filler neck.

 

I fit these.

Metal. Dont catch fire or melt.

 

@mikedjames is that suitable for stock single carb 5.6mm hose?

 

The dimensions given by Halfords are strange aren’t they?
87MM Width
19MM Top Inner Diameter
17MM Bottom Inner Diameter
72.5MM Height

 

Unfortunately that's why I think mine has bits missing . It's cut and squashed up at the end here , looks butched to me .

 

I think I need to do a engine out job to make a proper job of it . I am hoping to just enjoy the van this year so it's a job for next year . But yes a write up I will do .

 

I think mine is missing all from 23 forwards and across the front to 10a and certainly nothing is attached to air filter box. I think the little cylinder bits that go into the side air intakes are missing .
What are the chances of getting replacement parts ?

 

Find out if the condenser tubes are still in the rear corners or not

 

Weather permitting will look tomorrow. It's raining cats and dogs here today

 

Having been in and looked at that filter, the sizes make perfect sense, can't see how it would work on a camper though.
