T25 coolant pipe replacement.

Post by chrism589 »

Replacing the coolant pipe on T25. The old one seems to be jammed above the fuel tank. I am reluctant to take the fuel tank down but may lower it a bit to try to get a look what's going on.

Failing that is there any reason I can't leave the pipe in and run the new pipe over the top of the other side of the fuel tank. Obviviosly would need to get some longer l hose at either end but right now it seems quite temping.

Is it possible just to hinge down the fuel tank a little to see what's going on. So I don't need to disconnect any hoses to it? At the moment I have no ramps etc. Just crawling under the van


Many thanks.

Chris

Well done. :ok

Lowering the tank by just an inch will help with install. Anymore and you may dislodge the venting pipes.
But while there consider exchanging the heater pipes, too. 4 metres required l think. 5/8 internal bore.

Thanks, but been long enough under the van, think I will leave them for now.
