Nice Pete. That'll take atleast two stubbies to fill up at the servo.

Hey Quinny, we don't need to take jerry cans of diesel on our trips anymore. Just bring your jiggle syphon

speaking of that.. have you actually used one of those syphons in the standard OEM plastic tank.. good luck getting it back out again without damaging your tank.. at the bottom of the filler is like a little spring loaded door setup and it prevents the syphon from being removed without breaking it .. i think the doors are to stop splashing of fuel.. but they are a real pain.. Pete might be able to take a photo of them on the tank he removed..

coupled with lack of syphoning, difficulty in removing the white fuel pickup nut etc, and being unable to drain, those OEM tanks are a real PITA...

.........Ah yes, we can drain it into empty fully loaded cans.

Hey Pete, I assume you only removed the flare to avoid damaging it while frigging around with the filler. Correct????

It's been a little while for an update for dute as I posted in another thread I joined Sam and Alby's noise in the front end club today. . . see below


over the last 15 months the Ironman struts I had copped a be of hard work and ended up looking like this

After a few calls for help to Shane (crosssport) these turned up at my work thanks to Adam (Albury TJM)

So out with the Ironman struts and in with these new puppys

Jack ! ! !

I can't say to much about them as they have only been in the ute since 10am this morning and I have only driven 5 minutes to work . . . .

I do know a few people that have then and they all have stated good things about them so time will tell. the first big test will be the high country at Easter.

Bring it oooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn . . . .
