    Dual fuel tank install

    Well Patracy gave me my answer. It seems people get confused between eBay "auctions" and eBay "stores". So the moderators decided "all" ebay links are bad.

    Dual fuel tank install

    So no one can give me an answer ? I've read and reread the "rules" and can find nothing about posting to a "store" . In fact the rules state you can help someone who has a problem and needs a part. Just like I posted. So what did I do wrong here ?

    I guess I'm wrong then. I have seen many others post information links to "stores" weather it be on eBay or elsewhere. I know your not suppose to post about any "auction" unless it is over. So we are not suppose to link to stores now too ? Not getting snarky, just asking for the future.

    Just an update on my infection. Last week I just completed a month long course of really heavy duty antibiotics and the doctor said the infection has gone ! Praise GOD !!! I was not looking forward to having my body parts cut out !!! The doctors think I picked up this nasty infection in Russia...

    The original valve is outdated so I recently bought a new stainless steel one from eBay. It should work just fine. Yes it says it takes 8 seconds to fully open or close the valve but fuel is flowing the moment it starts to turn, just not the full flow. Here's the link : (edited, removed)...

    At this time I am feeling better, but we will see if the infection has truly gone later this week. If it hasn't then I might be facing surgery to remove the damaged tissue.

    I would not put it above the frame rail. To easily damaged that way. I just drilled a new hole about 1.5" above the original and rerouted the cable. Works great. The cable can be a bit of fun trying to get it off the brake shoe lever. I installed new stainless nuts and lubed it up good so in the...

    Are there any manufacture name and numbers on them ? Also are they 24 volt ?

    Where did you get the motorized valves from and how much where they ? I actually only have one solenoid switch on my system, rated for diesel fuel use. The rest are heavy duty one-way check valves for Marine diesel fuel systems.

    I believe I got the gauge from Summit Racing. I used the old brake light switch port on the air-pac to feed the gauge. Works great.

    Dual fuel tank install

    The reason I installed it is I can monitor my brakes for adjustment. If the adjustments are out on the shoes the pressure will go down. (Your filling more of the wheel cylinder with a limited amount of fluid) . Pressure in a enclosed system stays the same from end to end, so when you increase...

    Ryan, most all your pictures are unavailable to view. You need to post them here. I cannot tell how you did your system from your description alone. Did you use a manual valve ?

    Dual fuel tank install

    Sounds good but you need to take into account the fuel return from the injection pump. It needs to go back to the correct tank. How are you planning on doing this ?

    Actually if a fuse blew in this system your fuel would shut-off. There is too much friction and to much pressure on the one-way valves for the small boost pump to overcome since it was never designed to "suck" the fuel. It takes about 2psi to overcome those valves.

    Gerhard, I owe you an apology. After reading this thread again I see that my responses to you where very abrupt and came across as not very friendly. That was not my intention at all. The only explanation I can give for my rude behavior is due to the medication I'm on. Usually my wife will let...

    Since each tank has a pump, when one is in operation it forces the other tanks one-way check valve closed. There is no way any fuel is coming out of the non-used line.
