64EK26 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 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 ?

peter75 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) 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.
