    function report; It works well, though simple, I fill up the MB tank, and pull a switch which starts the electric fuel pump that pumps in the rear oem tank, (it's actually the first time that I see a fuel needle come up during driving!!! quiet special!) and you stop the pump just before the...

    Need some help please

    Well, This is for the moment, who knows if I got some inspiration afterwards, somewhere I heard things like dropping the tanks a liitle bit, just enough to make sure the fillhose has enough drop to get the fuel in without getting you the much dreaded fuel shower :))

    Neah, Then I stil haven't the height I need, (still too horizontal), and I can't compromis the strength of the rectangular stock I used, since I calculated the frame to be able to carry 2,5 metric tonnes with a safety of one tonne, and if you see the diameter of the fuel hose used, that's a hole...
