Fitting a stand pipe into a Mercedes sprinter | VW Crafter | fuel tank for a Chinese's diesel heater

[@gonefilming2020]

What a great video on the subject! First of all: That is one tight fit in your driveway. You bought your property to size, did ya? 😁 I also had to replace a few fueltanks in my wrenching days - always the source for great entertainment. 🙄 When customers brought their vehicles in, we always told them to be on max. 1/4 tank. After dropping the tank, we used compressed air and a brush to clean all the dirt, sand and grime. Before refitting the tank, we emptied it (less weight to contend with during the install) and always had a couple of 5 gallon jerry cans for that. I do ❤that makeshift retainer ring wrench and will definitely adopt that to my tool box. 👍 Great show, Sam and Andrew! 😊 Stay safe! 🚐☁🍀

It was all good fun we had a great day 😊👍 The drive is tight I may have broken a mirror or 2 reversing of the drive 😁👍

How do Sam. That was proper funny sticking the Dub logo on the van. Wouldnt work on mine though as nobody would ever believe mine was a dub LOl.. Good of you to do the bits on Andrew's Vee(cough) sprinter. When Im solvent I'll book you to redo my electrics LOL ( deffo not kidding) dropping a diesel tank is deffo not something I'd relish doing but neither would I want a tank full of diesel inside my van for my heater like some people do. Its deffo a job for someone who knows their stuff-which is why I got someone else to do mine. You did a grand job for Andrew! Bessy regs-Kenny

Hi, it might be a silly question, but when you have reinstalled the fuel tank do you have to bleed the fuel line to the engine? Great video by the way 👍

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

No silly question here mate it's a self priming system so no bleeding required
