I was gonna weld a bit of threaded bar, in the end i took the tank off, but the van was off the road anyway so there was no rush to get it done, it is a pita to take the tank out,

I would say it will be the same a bleeding any diesel engine, you might need to bleed the injection pump, if the injector pump is primed you should not really need to bleed any further, but you could try cracking the injector pipes and cranking the engine until you see some fuel then re-tighten.

I would love a viking roof, so much space up there. ideally i will swap my high top for a viking roof during my resto. this is highly unlikely. I do love a viking roof though, specially as we have 4 kids.....

Enjoy lucky Viking owners

Nice work mate, looking forward to adding some more photos to my thread when i get a bit more cut out of the van your getting there for sure
