fitting a marine tank

Post by r-nottz » Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:07 pm

I've came across a new 10 gallon marine tank.


Just wondering how I go about running it in my vit, its got 3 connectors on it, I'm guessing 1 Inlet, 1 feed and one is to vent.


Do I need a inline fuel pump to run it etc? Thanks in advance.

The need for a pump will depend on the age/engine in the Vit.

Most tanks should have a pick up, return, breather and filler.

Its a 1998 1.6 16v, and a injection so I'm guessing it'll need a inline pump?

Yes as the original pump is in the old tank. I've no idea what pressure it would need though.

r-nottz you have to have a BOSCH Universal External Inline Fuel Pump, i have a modified beer keg for fuel tank, i also have the 1.6 16v vitara engine. you have to also buy a fuel regulator adjusted at 2.5 bars.
i have these on.
