when modifying vehicle.

lines.
Make sure that the modified vehicle
complies with all relevant legal
requirements.
NOTE: Auxiliary Fuel line comes with Fuel Fired
Heater as an orderable option. The Auxiliary Fuel
line is available as a service item.
For vehicles without auxiliary fuel line that require
a fuel supply for applications (for example:
auxiliary heater or fuel fired hand wash facility) it
is advisable to use the auxiliary fuel supply port on
the top of the fuel sender unit located on the top
of the fuel tank as shown in figure E145336.
NOTE: To fit the auxiliary fuel line, the fuel tank
will need to be lowered, see following process:
To lower fuel tank:
• Drain tank.
• Remove filler pipe from tank.
• Remove bolts securing the three tank straps.
• Lower the fuel tank to gain access to the top,
see Figure E145336 for fitting auxiliary fuel line.

maintained for all driving conditions to
all hot and moving components.
Make sure that when the port is cut that
it is smooth with no sharp edges or burrs.
NOTE: The tube and/or line must be routed
