Re: Copper Pipe for fuel hoses in Engine bay ?

well you can if its just a pipe in a hot environment. VW fitted it on the front to back pipes on petrol didnt they? Personally id rather use 100% ethanol rubber hose and be done with it. But id rather use the poly stuff than copper pipe.

Re: Webasto Diesel Cooker - blowing fuses

i bow to you superior knowledge on these units. unusual for a two wire pulsed supply to recognise resistance though? normally for that you would have permanent 12v supply then a 0-12v for speed which would recognise resistance

Re: Webasto Diesel Cooker - blowing fuses

an easy test i would try is unplug the pump and let it go through the cycle. The cooker wont know the pump is unplugged, if the fuse doesnt blow its the pump. If it does blow then move onto the glowplug, then fan. Its just a process of elimination

Re: AFN Air filter options.

im running a petrol air filter sat on the diesel battery tray. Im having built a charge cooler built into the inlet manifold. This means all the air filter/snorkel /air inlet can fit in the factory position

Re: Paulchen Bike rack

You won't get much on at all with a rear wheel carrier, just one bike on the last segment. i do that, then store stuff on it as well. I use a tow bar bike rack for the other 3 bikes. might give you an idea..

My paulchen has done no damage at all, and I've had a fair bit hanging off it over the years.
