Help identifying tank connections

discomark10 · Jan 6, 2012

Hi, just wonderd if anybody can help me identify what does what, im hoping for a fuel feed, fuel return and a + n - for fuel gauge.

From memory the back one is the inlet and the front pipe is the return from the engine, if you take the pipes out have a look at them and one has a siv like filter on it, that's the one that feeds the engine

Ok cool thanks, that's 50% identified.
Oh i dunno if it helps but im told its from a S2 petrol.

Diesel I'd have thought - my petrol has no return and only one terminal on the sender. Diesels need a return from the injectors plus an electrical connector for the low fuel light.

hmm, i might have to have a fish around inside, maybe get some more pics.

well mine is a diesel and has 2, one sender one return like oxides said beause of the injector pump and the big hole thing held on with about 6-8 screws holds the fuel gauge sensor

Thanks

from memory they are both - 's, one earths the low fuel light and the other earths the fuel guage dependant on fuel level.

/\ /\ /\ What he said, that is defo a diesel tank and sender, give it a damn good clean out if you are going to use it for petrol.

Ok, kool ill have to use a multi-meter to figure out which is which, as for the fuel lines... i opened it up today but both connections are just tubes as you can see, i would imagine that the one that is the deepest is the feed but could be wrong

The second pic is the pick up, you can just make out where the gauze filter used to be.
