Fuel pipe union

Aug 02, 2004 5 Replies

Hi All,



So I spent all weekend putting in a new electric fan (from Famous Four, looks like a well made piece of kit) and removing the diesel tank which had become incontinent. I'm hoping to order a new tank this week, in the meantime I plan on painting the tank area/chassis with hammerite.



So, when the new tank arrives, should I be painting/sealing it? The original one wasn't sealed.



Unfortunately, while trying to get the old tank out, I had to cut the union for the fuelpickup that goes through the sender. Just couldn't get the union undone where it was without breaking the sender. Once I cut it, I undid the union with a socket. The pipe end/union isn't listed as a part on paddocks. Will my local garage me able to make one up? It's just a right angle length of pipe with the union on the end. are they standard? Probably something a motorfactors would have in the UK (if I was in the UK)? Sorry of these are daft questions :-)

Cheers for the info Dave. There's a garage round the corner which I hope to get to this week and see what they can do for me. Now, I wonder what the French for flairing kit is? :->

Are they the same on all Landrovers? coz my early 90D has olive joints on the fuel pipes. Metal ends with plastic middle bit

Compression olives is what I'd have expected to see too. I'm sure the last SIII I had apart had them on the fuel line.

No olives on mine, just metal/metal contact.
