Fuel tank
Turbo Mini Forums

Will this fuel tank do? I.e. does it have all the required inlets / returns etc?

Also, if I block off the return can I run it with the standard engine while I get the last few bits together to convert to the turbo?

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

Cant see a tank either

although you can run the full turbo fuel system with a N/A engine. just block of the boost sensitive pipe that normally goes to the fuel regulator.

You dont have to block it off, it only goes to the top of the diapraghm but just to stop things getting in

D'oh! sorry about that I got distracted mid post and forgot to add the URL :p

Couple of things.

The metty pumps don't like "lifting" fuel so ideally the outlet needs to be at the bottom.

Also that has no return, only a vent. You need both.

A good source of tanks for good money and quality (plus they've done many for mini's before) is endaf owens of owens fabrication. Advertises at the top of this site and Jimster uses one of his tanks

Cheers Iain I'll check him out :)

I just got a battery box of them,turned up in 2 days and the best welding i've seen

I expect if you asked him,they would put the inlet outlet and vent where you like and what size you want
