Being old and cheap my second tank setup in my Turbo Fox 2dr
diesel station wagon will consist of a 24 gallon fuel tank from an old boat
out back. I will mount it where the back seat used to be. Two solenoid
switches cheap Chevy pickup parts from my local small truck recycler. A used
VW water to oil cooler which will be plumbed with hot water from the engine
and used to heat the stock Bosch fuel filter. I did pop for a 150 dollar 30
plate water heated oil heater so that my fuel goes into the injection pump
at 160 degrees +. Some miscellaneous hoses and fittings and I should be able
to go.
The stock fuel system will remain intact and the 24 gallon
heated tank should give me a thousand mile WO range on the Fox before I
would need to use the diesel.
