| 39ronin Veteran Date registered: Apr 2008 Location: West Coast, Canada Vehicle(s): 90 300GDT 50mm lift 33" tires Veggie Burner Posts: 206 | RE: W460 50mm lift /r rebuilt 617a / Veggie Kit Sorry here are some photos: I installed a spring spacer lift on the top of the springs, the tires are 33's so maybe the illusion of lift is being misunderstood and looks like a G with 29" tires thus the space between tire to fender flare. As for the saddle veggie tank, I basically created one tank from the two. I kept the original main fuel tank stock, I then removed the passenger side saddle tank 's (never installed in my vehicle) fill neck and welded it on to the drivers side saddle tank to create a seperate stand alone tank, fitted a fuel line outlet, breather line and a return fuel line. I realize it is only 13L but I will only use it for a few moments warm up and to flush out the system, so I should be able to get a week or two driving based on that useage. I wanted to get away from having a tank inside my vehicle or underneath where it would be vunerable to damage, I also wanted to maintain the stock look and have the same filler on both sides. As for heating the original plastic tank I have decided to go with an external coolant heated plate exchanger plumbed in with a three way valve to recycle the veggie oil in a loop through the plate exchanger and back to the tank. I will take pics and update the veggie install as it progresses.

I think that is a fantastic idea BTW. Any possibility you would want to sell it?  | |
