    That's ironic, because that is actually Dave Marsh's job.

    Hi, I run 2 tanks on my old van, we used to do some big miles when i used to rodeo in the old girl. 3.08 diff, turbo 700, with lock up you could go 1200k (drive all night non stop)
    it was an easy job to fit, I put a filler on each side. A fuelmiser valve from repco is mounted underneath with 2 inlet lines & original fuel line as outlet. You flick a switch inside to run left or right, the original fuel senders are in both tanks so the gauge reads whichever side you are on.
    It's a long time ago I did it but it was pretty simple to wire up. Exhaust runs down the middle plenty of room.
    Even got keyed alike xa gt lockable fuel caps
    We left the Coast one Friday arvo & were back @ home Tues afternoon done 4 rodeo's in Victoria & 6000k.

    cheers Vic

    I had twin tanks in my 1974 HQ Ute, was a bit slow to fill but otherwise was pretty good. I rarely if ever filled them right up (and I was living in the bush). Gauge worked fine as they were always equalised, except you had double the normal fuel. Was very neat and basically could have been a factory fit if no one knew otherwise. When I was paying 36 cents a litre for fuel in 1982 it was okay.

    Thats a pic of the street/custom van Street Legal btw
    Hi Alien DNA

    Did you ever get around to doing this? I'm tinkering with something similar and wondered if you had any hassles? If you got it done, have you got any pics of how you ran the exhaust?
