Hiya JPS - can you clarify something for me, cause I'm thinking about doing the same:
Did you go from the fuel sender (at the tank) right to the lift pump? If so, how long a fuel hose length did you need?
If you didn't, where did you go from/to?
Cheers

Don't understand why they fit them on Discos and not defenders. Always struck me as a good idea but then I'm used to boats.
Incidentally, you can replace the stupid plastic drain screw with a metal one. Try Spares And Accessories

Anyone know the length required to go from tank to lift pump? Or is there an easier/shorter way to bypass?

Indeed that is rather a good idea, in fact I did that already today, and it seems I would need around 3m to go one way.
The thing is, in other posts I've searched about this, people have said to get 1.5m of fuel line, which means either:
A. my estimation is grossly wrong, or
B. People have done it a different way than what I'm looking at (ie. I'm missing something obvious)
I would appreciate two ticks of someone's time who has done this already and can share some helpful tips.

Here's an idea:
1. Take a tape measure
2. Then add a bit
Lmao but so so true! But double it, then minus 6"

Double post alert, ooh slap me
The short length is for bypassing and joining after sedimentor, the longer length is from tank to lift pump! But dont forget the return! If your going to the trouble of doing this (and its not hard) you may as well do them both!
