Is it possible withought removing petrol tank or am i missing soemthing?

you mean the wires from the starter battery on a petrol?
driverside wheelarch, behind the expansion tank

sorry i mean the wires (aux to lights etc camping equipment) go through the battery box base then disapear i need too add another wire but dont know how you get acess to the holes from below

I recently had to run a 10.0mm cable from my leisure battery behind the passenger seat, under the van into the van battery compartment behind the drivers seat and behind all the fitted furniture to a new inverter fitted under the 'zig' unit.

I used the existing 1.0mm cable as a draw wire to pull the new 10.0mm cable in; that went out through the bottom of the battery compartment, behind a crossmember between the spare tyre and the fuel tank and up into the battery compartment on the other side. It was a lie on your back getting crap in your eyes and scraped knuckles job. If you have access to a pit, a hydraulic ramp or even just the ramps you drive the front onto it'll help. It's going to be a struggle whatever you do unless you run it internally......
No, I didn't have the foresight to take any pictures, sorry.

and if you area normal sized bloke, you wont be able to get that far under without ramps or jacking it up anyway, its only coz bren is a slimline version he can!!!!!

doh

cheers guys have it up on proper axel stands luckily being a camper its on stilts anyway heh

luckily its just a tiny 5 amp cable to my propex i need to run but was miffed if i could see under the van where the wires go so assumed above the fuel tank doh!

if that 5 amp cable is going to need to be more than 3 ft long, make it 15amp, or you will suffer voltage drop and the heater wont start when you most need it to, they have a cut out if the voltage at the heater falls below 11.5vdc..... so thicker cable helps

cheers steve may run it in some 16.5 thin wire i got here then with a 10 amp fuse?
