Hi dgardel, the extended bowl makes checking for contamination much easier! Please note you need to modifiy the fuel filter cover also.

Thanks,

Tim

You don't need to use a plate. I used 1 1/4 inch square tubing welded into a H shape. Drilled out the holes for the chassis mounting points, then drill out the filter housing fixing holes and insert riv nuts to fix the housing onto. Open up the bottom tabs on the housing cover and fabricate an extension to cover the bowl. Once welded and grinded, drill a 1/2 hole in the centre of the extension (to give a visible indication without opening the cover) then spray black, a couple of hours work.

and for those going direction real cold there are heating spiral versions available to keep your diesel liquid in winter.

if you google "130 on portals" you'll find the build thread on another forum of this marvelous 130 and he is explaining the lot about the filters also.

edit: found it back http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/thre...ter+heater

whole thread is worth a read

Thank you Lorryman. Have you same photos?

I will need to take some DG, as I had to delete a lot of pics from my photobucket account to make space for a new project that I am working on.
