Hi Coops,

It's an easy 5 minute, $2 job to run the vacuum lines from the manifold to the taps. They work great.

You,ll need to run vaccuum lines from the intake manifolds to each tap,,

Run fuel lines how ever you feel,   mine works great

If you run it on prime as a matter of course you,ll miss the reserve  limit and may end up pushing it

Replacing RH tank with a bigger E tank
« Reply #1 on: October 13, 2013, 09:56:14 PM »
 Hi gents decided to swap the smaller RH tank for bigger tank from an E model. The thing is I was not using the occi setup with the fuel lines but direct into carbie inlets with the small tank. Now got the big one inplace as theres no vacuum pipes will blank them off but will fuel with gravity be enough to fire up the old girl or do I run it it on prime and switch it off when I stop? Coops
