The tank contains a pickup, not a pump

Not sure why you want to do this bpman unless you're going to mid africa or somewhere where fuel can be iffy. cheaper and easier solution is to take a small cup filter and put it over the fuel nozzle, or use the leg/foot end of a pair of tights. Far less hassle.

I wrote some notes up about dropping the tank on a 110 as part of fitting a Webasto - have a look in my gallery

hi BigMike - the reason(s) for cutting an access hatch is to be able to replace any critical parts in the tank/sender/pump .. but as I have found out, there is not a pump in the tank (on a MY2010 2.4), so I won;t be making the hatch. However all this information especially COBS and BAS's pdfs will be a great help when I start to fit the thermotop c

From this thread, I want to judge the mechanical skills required to fit the webasto after being quoted £1500 to fit (£2500 including the unit Shocked ) .. and to me the tank sender is the most tricky part, the rest seems quite straightforward.

cheers

Ah gotcha.

I went through the same dilemma. Decided that a totally seperate small fuel tank was in order which fit in front of the rear wheel arch on the offside.

The price you've been quoted is very high - if you really dont fancy doing it yourself have a chat with Ribblesdale auto electrics in preston. Yes its a hike from you, but you'll save hundreds of pounds
