Bedford Fuel Tanks.

Dano, silicon?

the VN tank fits well, has internal fuel pump as well as extra return needed for fuel injection systems.

I did modify the tank, blanked off original filler and moved it to rear like bedford tanks, used commodore straps with bedford hooks on the body side.

I'll get some photos, of tank in place

Awesome, thanks guys, shane why are you screwing yourself, lol I have 2 beddy tanks, but i will be getting the experts to modify my tanks, i'm not that game. lol  What model F100 tank ? or are they all the same. Would a VP tank fit in the van in the same place as the beddy. The advice i got from a mate who does custom tanks, will be to fit 2 external fuel pumps, and not go internal. What is the capacity of the VN and VP tanks.

Hey Matte thats not a nice thing to call Danno he's not a silli-con

Hey all, i have just stumbled onto a possible problem. I have put my V6 from the Vp, now they are talking about scrapping unleaded fuel, now i am using ULP 95 fuel in the cruiser, are we going to be able to use these fuels in the v6 ? or do we have to modify to use. Something i forgot to think about b4 picking a new motor.

Merlin, my mistake - he's a silli-EXcon....

George, what I understand of the effects of Ethenol based fuel is that you need rubber hoses that're resistant to the corrosive properties of ethanol.
That being said we were running race fuels containing ethanol a couple of seasons ago, and it caused absolutely no problems with out rubber hose(although we only have a short section of rubber) Best thing about ethanol for us is that it burns clean

So is that a yes on the Q. of, can we run the v6s on these new fuels, being that they run hotter do we need to upgrade the seals to a different seal, or can we even,  because we will be pulling my engine back out soon to rebuild it b4 it goes in permantly, but i dont want to have to pull it out again in a year or 2 to replace the seals, i might as well do the upgrade properly now and be done with it, if thats what is required. So far i can't get a straight answer from anyone as to where i stand. Worse case i have to go to a later model of engine, something i hope i dont have to do in years to come, but would rather do it now then to start all over again down the track.

I suggest you rock on over to www.justcommodores.com.au and have a search there. I have a nosey fairly regularly and haven't seen that question come up but if there's nothing there you could always ask. There are quite a few friendly and knowledgeable people there.

Apparently you can run E10 without needing to change anything, its only if you go up to anything higher that will require being reengineered. I'd do a search thru the ethanol sites and try to find a workshop that deals with the conversions specifically - better to hear first hand what is required

the pictures aren't the best but hopefully give you an idea
