    Default tip for the Hilux hoter-upperers :)

    Whilst installing the commodore V6 into my YN57 hilux, i discovered the fuel outlets out of the fuel tank are a fair bit too small. After going to the trouble of braising up a new fuel line, and melting the rubber gasket, i went to the wreckers to get another, i discovered that the LN40 - (i guess all diesels would be similar) - actually has a bigger fuel outlet - and is the perfect fit into the YN57 tank - problem solved!

    Thought this might stop the rest of you with petrol models looking for the bigger lines.

    Why where you changing the outlets on the tank?

    I hope your not running it without a surge tank

    I got a lift pump filling a surge tank then double the size lines the rest of the way. Iwas thinking of a bigger tank though. I seam to have a problem driving conservitively....
