Brian have you seen this and are they ok, look easy to fit in the dash was what I was at..
There is a boost as well same lay out... Starting to look at that part now , nealy have all the other done.. Come on winter..

Chuckt I havent seen them, with this one you can get the counter for diff.size and liquids. Im thinking CVan water, stuff like that as well, will see how it goes. Im going to try and switch the diesel lift pump not use a solenoid tap!!

Hi All , Well the lift pump fuel filter and fuel flow meter are fitted, at the back where the 2 jerry cans sit. All that is needed now is the comp. part to be fitted on the dash some place..

That looks great Bob.

Hi All, This is what the long range tank looked like , On the left  to right ,The pick up, then the breather,n Filler. Never put a fuel guage in too much trouble, What Ive done is use a fuel LCD liquid flow controller...to see what is pumped in so one wont cover the van in diesel as we drive, KRAFT can strike at times...
I had the same set up in our MH with just a switch to turn the pump on and finished up pumping diesel on the ground....no smile..

Well the last jobs done, I hope. Took the whole exhorst system off and took it into the muffler place . Had a copy made in 2.5 inch , with a hotdog muffler. and a flexy joint right below the starter . It took some getting in. Did all the fitting and welding ect my self..
It now sounds like a truck should and hopfuly will run a little bit better.
All up 220$ . that all new 2.5 inch pipe, hotdog muffler, n a flexy joint, and u bolts..
I havent made any adj. to the fuel yet Brian, will take her for a run soon to see whats what..
Have a good n happy Xmas all and a safe new year...

Sounds good Bob, better plan an overnight stop here as you head north in March.

[Robert 42]

Hi Guys, Brian we are looking at a stop over at lake Elphinstone with the Ozervnews forum guys. Not sure for how long ,but could be a few months will wait and see how it looks. Or it may be inland between Georgetown and Croydon on a private station ? Meeting a guy from WA that has 2 6x6 a civy one and now a Perentie like ours ...
 He Knows where that place is ... Will make a trip to say hi for sure when we are that close..
The little truck went well no vierbrations now with the new tyres, and she roars with the hotdog and the 2.5 inch pipe ,love it.. 
I have a nice standard muffler if some one could use, has 24 thou.ks use . Still has a new look to it.. And a tail pipe, the engine pipe was cut up to use the flange from ..
Ok will keep in touch as time goes....
Bob..

[BEARMAN]

No worries Bob, Lake Elphinstone is only a couple of hours from here, I might even come out for an overnight run.

[Robert 42]

Sounds good Brian, Ive been looking through some old photos and found this ,Our first landy and Van.. Big smile ,The little Lady did a big job pulling that van up to Bowen Meat Works and over to Carnarvon WA , Where I shot roos from her. The Nulla was dirt in places then.. Mate it was a big adventure so say the least.. And Im still towing a van with a landy some 48 years on.. Some people never learn ,smile I love the gas bottle, wouldnt get away with a 100lber on the front now....

nice Landy, be nice to still have her??

[Robert 42]

Yes, She did a power of work that little girl, On the way back from WA she started to run on 3 cyc. I stopped at Coolgardie parked in the street infront of (repco) I think. Took the head off put a new stelight exorst valve in put it all back together.. And back to normal driveing...
Had a mind blowing happing, I sold her in Melbourne, a year or so later we were in WhiteCliffs NSW , camping on the opalfields and a chap drove her into our camp....
I nealy cried .she was looking so good....
But thats how it is...
