So what jet size are we drilling with these current injecters? Might open the box tomorrow.  :o
 ;)
When you open the box, can you check if he's put in a diagnostic lead for connecting to lappy, as I don't have one with mine...   ...and I can't get hold of him again to discuss or order my 80l tank
Will do, but do you not have one for mv6? Or is different?

Have no diagnostic lead.

Do have lead to tank.

No red book although I still have the old one, so no issue tbh.

200 kw engine on v6 shows 2.4 mm jet size. And 1.0 bar at 1500 rpm.

So 2.5 diameter for 3.2? 218 bhp is it?

One for solenoid, or just for gauge?

Defo gauge. Isn't there a spare wire in it for the solenoid? Iirc.?

Don't remember any extra wiring other than that, but then you know what my memory's like. :-/

Its a hall sensor gauge, thus needs all 3 wires?

Could ground it at tank end, and steal ground wire, but looks a bit feeble for solenoid.

On certifying, bloke noted tank end was not earthed on gay omega, so i guess thats what i did last time...? I guess Kev Or LD, sorry, LF can confirm.

Most level sensors are 2 core (signal and ground ;)) even though the cable supplied will likely be 3 core. I don't think earthing the tank is actually in COP 11 but would make sense I suppose :-/

Personally I'd probably run a second cable for the solenoid, especially as you're both going to have 2 vent pipes anyway :y

He did say that those injectors flow slightly better so I'd start at 2.5 (max)... Not exactly a faff to go bigger if needed ;)

Biggest problem is going to be space for the reducer as it is bigger (smaller Diameter, I think, but thicker) than the previous ones :-/

So 80 litre....are we maximising capacity between turrets with that size? But still keeping some through space capability?

In other words is there a 90 litre to take up all the width in the boot between turrets and still give trough space over the top? Wider for same hight, so to speak....?  :-/

What capacity does 80l give? Less range than the petrol tank in effect?

80L is what Kevin and Entwood have. leaves a little space at the ends, useful to keep a few essentials :y There is a 360dia 90L tank but it doesn't quite sit between the turrets so leaves a bigger gap between it and the seats.

This is my 90L tank...

With a Bose shelf, there isn't much scope for putting long items through.

I am toying with mounting my bose amp near the RH speaker, and removing the plastic shelf on the Elite.  On the MV6, that wasted space in the shelf is overwise used.  This should give similar space to Kevin Wood's boot, with the exception the Bose bass speakers do protrude downwards.
