fuel tank or t-piece?
Turbo Mini Forums

ive read on here that its possible to put a t-piece in the fuel pipe instead of having to braize the fuel tank for the reurn pipe. just wondered if this works well or do you know of any problems that i'll encounter? as it'll be easier for me to do this than find someone round here to braize a return onto the tank for me.

i'm guessing that the t piece goes between the tank and the pump? well between the tank and filter?

the only concern I have is that you might get air bubbles...

and that you will heat up your fuel passing it through the engine bay, the tank acts a nice cooler :)

I think it's Jukka runs his through a T-piece, and has no problems.

yeah i think i'm gonna give it a try, if it doesn't work then i haven't really lost much. just got to have me car running properly for the 1st of May.

Does anyone have any pictures of the t peice being used? Just thinking i could use that method until my new alloy tank arrives

OK, found the pics of my setup in my own homepage... !

I?ve had the same setup from 1996 and done 42000 miles without any problems so it works.

I also used a t piece in my last turbo set up and this worked fine, in fact I used more an y piece than a t piece as i wanted the flow to go in the same way; I took two eight diam in one 10 diam to go to the fuell pump
