[krice118]

External.

Is the pump internal or external to the aux tank?

let me google that for you

let me google that for you

And if it helps, here are updated instructions for operation of the external transfer pump....

We have tanks in stock and more on the way - the warehouse yesterday.

25 min. It was getting louder so I think it was starting to suck air

Can you transfer fuel while driving?

Yessir.

Hey Ward...

How tough would it be to add a pump that can fill external tanks...such as a motorcycle, generator or or vehicle?

Mark Maholic had one on his rig, but I didn’t get to see what he did.

??

This would make Jerry cans truly unnecessary in groups, and allow helping other rigs who need fuel.

 

[wardharris]

Doable, I think, just put a "t" on the fuel pick up with a second control module and transfer pump. Pump one to transfer to main tank, pump two to feed the fleet.

Will ask Georg @orangefj45 to chime in

Ward already answered, but that is the whole point to not have to stop

Thank you sir..... hence the visual aids

It’s absoluteky possible to utilize an aux tank as a “gas station”.
As Ward mentioned, youdhave to “T” into the fuel feed line coming from the aux tank.
I would T into the line before the transfer pump. Then run a second electric pump ( maybe something with more flow like an Airtex or Walbro ).
Pretty simple mod. Just make sure your plumbing and wiring is safe and sound.

You could possibly use a three way ball valve too. One position the pump feeds to the oem tank, the other position it feeds to a fitting where you can attach a hose.

PRICES, DISCOUNT, GROUP BUY (Kind of)

A quick update....

1. US spec instructions are complete (for now) and attached.
2. Over a dozen US installs of the 200s and no issues, they install and function as designed.
3. Prices are up (shipping, mostly) and there will be a $100 price increase to $1,795 for the complete kit effective July 15.

We are honoring the contributions of the 200 MUD crew by extending the $200 intro discount for paid orders received by July 1 - at the current retail price of $1,695 - for a net price of $1,495 plus shipping to your shop or local YRC (Yellow Freight) terminal. We will place the order on July 1 with shipping first week of August. We have made the order/build/ship process much more efficient and the timeline has been shortened up significantly.

If you want in, just go to this link and provide the required information and we will get you an estimate with shipping for approval.

I will update our other threads as well, but wanted to start here and say thanks for the support!

Do you think the breather could be routed somewhere else? I just don't like the breather in a super high dust area with a crappy cotton gauze filter. Maybe more to the front of the vehicle?

Also, is there some side profile pictures of the 12 vs 24 vs 40 gallon tanks? I'm getting one, I want more fuel than not, but I know that I'll need to keep clearance in check.

Guess I should have held out for a couple of weeks before ordering. Great deal!

edit... Ward is a good man!

 

[wardharris]

I think you can run the breather wherever you want as long as the hose is in good order - not kinked.

Let me see if I can proved photos as requested.

 

[wardharris]

40 gallon - note relationship to exhaust resonator

No comparable photo for the 24 but clearance is comparable to OEM spare in place.
