Does anyone have a seperate fuel tank on there van for the eber??

If so whats the difference in this or tapping into your fuel line??

Oh and can you buy em?? I have tons of room under my westy now the old massive eber has gone.

I use a seperate tank for mine. You can tap into the fuel line but its not adviseable as you might use the fuel in the main tank a bit too much! Some systems have a seperate float in the tank and only let you use so much fuel so you still have some in there. Personally i'd go for a seperate tank but thats the only reason why really.

Ahh, I didnt! I made mine (well, sort of). I made up the tank in allloy and got a friend at wort to weld it. Cheating I know but it fits and it works! Went to a Bug-jam recently and saw some there but not too sure where else you can get them. Hopefully someone else will know!

mmm I will be going into this blind Rob, might go for own tank then.

There's plenty of room under the van for its own tank when i removed the old massive petrol westy.

All ive got to find now is control switch and wireing loom from eber to switch/pump.
