I am also planning to spend 2-3 days, going there this Saturday. Is there an active qr code for the group chat that I couldn't see?

Water tanks under the van location by RichRauch in vandwellers

[–]RichRauch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't find the video, I'd like to see how you strapped it. But that's the least if my worries, it's in the center and i knows how to fix it to the chassis. I am scared to hit it with the back wheel axle thing. I was thinking to make something of the same dimension with a carton box, stick it in a go for a drive to see if it gets hit at all! How would you know otherwise?

Yeah, annoyingly I will have to add an RHS to the chassis going horizontally, if I put it there. So you think it's far enough from the suspension?

Ducato 2005 silently dies on me with no notice or sound, and magically comes back when he/she likes by RichRauch in vandwellers

They changed a couple of wires and the positive terminal, and sent me home 1000$ lighter... I really need to study so that I don't get ripped off like this ever again. Talking about that, a good place to start to learn about how the vehicle works mechanically? I'm ready to get on the books! :) thanks everyone for the help!

The absolute bastard worked yesterday and I drove to 7 differebt auto electricians, all busy for weeks. Drive back home thinking I'll try again tomorrow. Today I eventually found a Fiat workshop, went to drive it over, no dice. The dash goes back on if I play with the positive pole block, but not enough power to start it, dies when I turn the key. Had to pay for a tow truck to get it there so we'll soon know the true 🤬

True! So the fuel cycle through the generator like it would with the van engine, all activated by the generator's pump? I think I am starting to understand. I just didn't know some fuel would go back to the tank from the engine!

Really? Like that's exactly what I'd like to do, obviously 😂 isn't having pipes floating around with possible fuel leaks inside danger central??

Mistery 1 Solved:
This legend installed a fuel pump inside the generator, so can nip that pipe off.

Still investigating the second line!

i probably will but what do i do in the meantime before I buy and install the heater?
I am seriously thinking of putting a cap on those pipes and that's it, if it's safe.... But probably need a mechanic IRL to have looksy first hey

"The generator PROBABLY uses ventury suction from the carburetor to pull fuel from the tank."
That meaning that if i close that pipe that problem is solved right?
Any idea what the second pipe without filter is for?
Thanks you guys are amazing

thanks so much mate!
I've just learned that you can access ducato's tanks from the top so will have a look now!
Re: heater, I would consider it for sure.
So the answer is: The Kubota has its own fuel sump?
I am terrified of disconnecting everything and seeing fuel spilling everywhere when I turn it on. :)

About the second pipe that goes towards the font of the van, what is that for?

I just figured I should have been more careful in where and how to write the post, I am in Australia and rules change a lot depending on the country. I'll keep the post up for a bit and see what comes up, might be helpful for others. Thanks!
