The idea is to fit them without hacking a big hole into the car.

Quality work by TRPs work experience kid.

Plus, who'd be crazy enough to line a nice sharp metal edge sitting to your fuel line?

That's a pathetic job and you paid them for it.

It is black sharpie pen, the rectangle.

Not a hole.

Even if they are bulkhead fittings, they're not fitted right. 

See the top one here, if that's a bulk head, that flat ring should be firmly against the bulkhead mating surface. 

With this there'll be less tension and over time with vibrations it will move, and start to give. 

It should be a specified diameter circular hole, then they cleanly fit into them.

The sarcasm was clearly missed in my previous post. You'd see f**king light through it if it was a hole.

And you say you have an eye for detail.

 

Not if there's no light on the other side or those lines come out through the bottom of something that covers over the hole... 

*groan* I'm reached my pain threshold for the day, off to enjoy my evening with a few bevvies.

When I get back I'm happy to talk about taking some bets on what gets Benny first. 

  • Catastrophic fire. 
  • Crash due to suspension pick up points rusting through or something similar. 
  • Engine failure due to stock rods. 
  • Crash due to shit driving.

Have fun gents.

Are there teflon bulkhead washers? 

**edit

Was asked to also post the following:

Of course there is washers. The reason you don’t see them is because we didn’t use tiny fuel fittings like you did. The big boys use -8AN. I’ll be over 500kw in no time. P.s I couldn’t even fit a ham sandwich in that surge tank mate.

What if he’s vegan and doesn’t want a ham sandwich

Err, if you used washers, we'd see them. The washer gets bigger when the fitting gets bigger just like with a nut and bolt. Washer is always larger diameter than the nut/fitting. Visibly you have none. :)

Benny, you had some "none mint" items be pointed out in your "mint" car, the photos speak greater words than those you're typing. You have once again become the laughing stock of SAU. You claim one thing, and post photographic evidence stating the opposite. 

good work son, keep it up, I and the other boys haven't had as good of a laugh like this in a while :)

Invisible washers??

I do like the ham sandwich as a volume measurement, pretty handy when planning a fuel system. Fuel lines need to be able to fit a kalamata olive through them to be any good, have you checked that yet?

I’ll take detail photos once I get my GoPro Hero 7 black back. I’ll wind it up to 4K resolution. 

Not putting an olive to check my fuel system. The build is to F1 standards not DIY pal

Mine flows 600 kalamata olives per millisecond. 

Still only making 250kalamata watts at the wheels so, so the other 350 olives per millisecond are just getting cooked being pumped to a heat source and back. Should I add a cooling rack in so that I can eat the cooked olives safely or just blow on them before consuming?

Haha I’ll float the car to Adelaide and line you up on the circuit mate. We can put $5000 on it to make it worthwhile. You’ll probably get crossed up trying to match my late braking & end up in a tyre barrier, so when I win you shall refer to me as “The Don” and comment my thread admitting the car is a museum piece 

The more you blokes yap, the quicker I’ll have a 9280 on the car. Ill be in excess of 300kmh before Matt, MLR & Dan even get to 100.

And once I’ve taken the pink slips I’ll request my username to be changed to ElPinkSlipCollector.

Why are you collecting safety certificates? They're only worth like $30. Can you not afford them after your fuel system ate your ham sandwich for lunch?

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
