Bedford MW fuel tanks and fittngs

Hi

 

Been cleaning up my MWC petrol tanks....

 

Is there any difference between LH and RH tanks ?

 

The fittings on my two tanks are different

 

Tank 1

This has a 1/4" BSP Drain plug and a 1/2” BSP to 1/4” BSP straight adapter coming out of the top (fuel feed)

 

Tank 2

This has 1/8” BSP Drain plug and what looks like a 3/8” NPT threaded insert on the top (5/8” UNF is a very sloppy fit so that’s why I think it is 3/8 NPT)

 

Only one tank should have a fuel tap on it (LH side), push pull type, what does this actually look like? (a photo would be good. Does it fit directly into the tank with a long feed pipe ?

 

I assume that the other side is a right angled outlet going to a 1/4” BSP male as the change over switch has 1/4” BSP connections on it, is this correct ?

 

Cheers

Richard

Hi Richard,

The right hand tank in the 1st picture on the other thread is the correct drain.

The right hand tank on the truck should be a stand pipe with a 90 degree turn with thread for 1/4 BSP pipe nut.

The left hand tank should be a stand pipe with a push pull tap.

There should be a push pull switch over tap on the right hand chassis rail just behind the cab.

I will try to post some pictures over the week end.

Peter.
