KZTE Long Range Tank - Pipe in right place?
Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2012 6:06 pm
Hey Guys
I got a 61L tank fitted to my 2004 KZTE Double Cab a few months back by LA Sport in Bloemfontein. Had non stop issues with it, never seemed to fill up all the way.
I know a standard tank is around 81L and the extra tank 61L. Total 142L (plus minus). Now driving the vehicle until its completely empty and gives that first jerk then filling up. Never could get it to fill past 110L, so something is wrong.
Took it back to them, they said it must have been an issue with the breather, so they "fixed it". Still same problem.
Took it back today and "fixed" it again. This time, I showed them that the fuel line from the filler into the spare tank runs up and over my chassis, so in my opinion not all the fuel will get into that tank if it first has to go up and over. So they gave it back today and moved the fuel line to the side inside my wheel arch. Now im afraid it will get damaged in the bush somehow?
Any ideas???
Also, you guys out there with the same vehicle, where does your fuel line run from the filler into the tank?
Here are some pics.
