Custom Fuel System × 4BT Cummins Discovery #20 [Land Rover Build]

Ditching all the Rover gasoline system & building a heavy duty diesel fuel system to feed the new 4BT Cummins engine. Started by tearing out all the old hoses & emissions junk, then dropped the tank to wash it out but it was spotless inside, thankfully had a hand from some good friends to manhandle it. Next up was running lengths of stainless braid covered & teflon lined AN hose, with -8AN (~1/2") for supply & -6AN (~3/8") for return. Then I got another chance to learn a bunch (& drool over cool machinery) with a machinist friend who helped be bring an idea to life for a replacement fuel sender cap. The old fuel sender has a pump & level gauge that's of no use for me anymore, so we made up some aluminum straws & threw in a reed style level gauge. Before I locked all the hose in with my new brackets I made sure to leave a bit of slack to service the tank while it's on the ground, sure beats trying to get wrenches up above the tank to get it free. Welded my new hose brackets onto the frame to secure the new hoses & protected them where necessary. Check that system off the list!

~ PART#20 in a project dubbed "Nanuuq" to swap out my lifted Land Rover Discovery 2's blown 4.0L V8 & boring ZF auto for a Cummins 4BT 3.9L turbo (Holset Super HX30W) diesel 4-cylinder engine (Bosch P7100 pump) with an NV4500 5-speed manual transmission. The AWD 4x4 will remain with the LT230 transfer case divorced behind it all, & plenty of Dodge 6BT parts too. Another big phase of my custom DIY build to create a do-just-about-anything off-road / overland rig. Did I mention it's a camper too?
