one way of doing it is to use a massive fuel filter, and have the outlet pointing down. cheap and cheerful.

I know exactly how to go about getting it rite as i done this conversion some yrs ago ........... u will need the turbo tank - the van tank & take them both to a radiator repair shop where they can de-gas the tanks then take everything from the turbo tank & weld it into the van tank .....


Jobs a good'un ............
