Title: Fuel tank earth wire...
Post by: feeutfo on 25 June 2012, 17:12:31
... Was clamped and trapped by a tow bar mounting bracket.

I've just removed the tow bar and its broken the connection.

The wire remaining is VERY short. A pig to get to. Do I really need to repair it...?

:(

Done it anyway. Is it for sparks from fuel vapour ?

Or electrics? :-\

never even seen the wires under the mig, and there is no way the tow bar could get to it, did they change were the wire is on newer mig types?
