See my postAsk VOSA the always manage to dip a tank when after red diesel
Just don't expect to use a hosepipe
There is a flap at the bottom of the filler tube but to me it's more to stop fuel surge up the pipe when driving than to stop siphoning.
That's what I thought I recalled, stop the fuel going back up the filler, just wasn't sure of my memory.
I've got a self priming pump as long as I can get a hose down the filler neck. Think I'll root about in me bits and bobs, see if I can reduce the 3/4 down to 10mm.
If it was me I would cut the access door, all the info is in the technical archive, should have been done from the factory IMO, easy enough to make the piece cut out a bit bigger and, make a rubber gasket and secure with self tappers.
The access hole for the pump is too far away to help with replacing the hose.
I cut length wise with a Stanley knife and sort of peeled it off the pipe stubs.
I can't see how that would be easy to do on a standard set up with the moulded pipework and the lump on the end connected to the fuel filter housing. However, on this occasion you are a genius!Join your pump up to the supply pipe at the file filter and pull it from there
Diesel will run with just under half a tank with a dead pump. Is yours petrol? Had a play with the pump today, I reckon it'll fill a 20ltr drum through the 10mm lines I've fitted to it in around 2 minutes.
