jimmy_neutron Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Started on fitting the rear tank to my defender 90 200tdi van. I'll post the pics when its done so i can edit out the foolish bits without the world seeing So far i mastered the exhaust. I chopped the exhaust behind the first silencer and took it for a run. It was a bit too loud for my liking. Not really loud, just irritating. After about 5 miles there was a horrible smell which was probably the underseal heating up. Really really sickly smell, so this is not recommended to try out. Anyway i have used the middle and rear section of the late 300tdi and welded it to the middle of my 200tdi exhaust. As i say i'll show pics when i'm done. TD5 tank shoved in place and got my tank cradle. Tank looks like it will fit without needing to chop the rear cross member until it is shoved hard up against the body, then there is about zero clearance with that ball jointy bracketty thing underneath. Started chopping cross member yesterday. Plan is to chop the bottom of the V out and fold it down if that makes sense. Anyway... The question ... My rear tank is going to be for diesel and my under seat for veggies. I have drawn loads of fuel circuits, and looked at loads that are advertised by many 'conversion specialists'. For reasons that i will explain later, i came to the conclusion that the 200tdi will be better with using 2 seperate lift pumps. So the obvious thing to do is keep the original lift pump for veggie and use a TD5 in tank pump/sender. But .. does anyone have the part number for the plug ? And what do all them pipes do ? And which ones which ? Ta If anyone can fill an argon bottle near carlisle let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i'll go back to the late 300tdi sender with a facet pump and pressure regulator. Any opinions on this anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
