Description
With the increase in popularity of installing auxiliary diesel heaters in Defenders, a common question is how to install a separate fuel supply to the heater without the hassle of dropping the fuel tank from the vehicle or installing an auxiliary fuel tank.
This product provides a quick and easy solution. The diesel pick-up pipe fits ‘inline’ into the large diameter fuel filler hose between the back of the Defender fuel filler and the main fuel-tank. Split the fuel filler hose and remove a short section of filler hose to accommodate the length of the adapter.
Insert the aluminum adapter into the filler hose and secure in place with the supplied stainless-steel hose clamps. The smaller diameter pick up pipe extends downwards into the main fuel tank to act as the pick-up supply for your heater. This flexible 5mm pipe can be shaped to fit (length 550mm- you can easily shorten the length by chopping the pipe down if required). Connect your fuel supply hose (not supplied) to the outlet pipe on the adaptor and you have a ready-to-go fuel supply to connect to your heater pump.
Works with 'knock off' 2kw/5kw heaters as well as proprietary heater brands like Webasto, Eberspacher, Planar, Autoterm, etc.
