Diesel Hose and nozzle

reilig

Spent a while at the weekend building a stand for my 2 ICB diesel tanks
I'll plaster it up some evening during the week and it'll be all ready to go in the next week or 2. Decided to have 1 of the tanks for the tractors and one for the 4x4.

My next problem is the hose and nozzle and the filter. Can anyone suggest where I could buy 2 of these at a keen price? Its important that I have the filter too. The diesel supplier does not supply them!

Any info appreciated.

hi Reilig, would you not try and pick up an electric diesel pump? there about 100 - 140 euro and that way you onl need the one to operage both. I think they operate off a 12v battery.

I would be interested. But would the white diesel not then be contaminated with the green stuff. Would I not still need 2 separate pumps?

im almost sure that the pumps empty themselves out after there switched off. its a few years since i used on to top up the farm master.

oh cross contaiminated diesel. The night i was working in my college job and a haulier put 1200 litres of green diesel in the lorry and 200 white in the fridge. i called the local guard told him the craic and said to write down the details and when tank on the lorry was almost empty next drain them and clean them out.

I bought a hose and filter from these. They were cheaper than the supplier round here.

we bought the ac pump and in line water/dirt filter from them also ,

no problems when we changed over the new diesel eventhough the tanks were quite old and don't have to change the tractor fuel filters only very rarely now

I would seriously consider doing likewise , you may think you are having no problems with fuel but a few years down the road may be a different story if you have to overhaul injectors and / or injector pump

I done it on the advise of my contractor who is in line filtering his fuel for a few years and never has any issues with modern common rail systems when others are spending hundreds on repairs


about €300 to €400 would set up a complete filtering, pumping system with automatic cut off nozzle,

EDIT , re read op and see you are fitting the filter, I would consider the pump also as you can use the best filter with pump in line and if the filter get clogged the pump cuts out, just have a pare element and fit only when needed

I am not a fan of the 12v dc pumps if possible , best to leave those for field use only

I will definitely be going inline filtering for both. I'll consider the pump if I can get it at the right price.

Thanks for the links Guys!!
