got the skid shield fitted today, it's not pretty currently but i didn't get a great deal of time on which to do it this weekend and it was a priority.

Basically i has situated the screw for the jubilee clip at the lowest point, this was what hit the bump, so i have moved that round as well,

Gary if you need a hand you know where i am mate   Dazzler same for you buddy

Im picking mine up next Tues, save on postage

I have to say, having gone for the 4 hole tank, whilst the tank itself is a lovely bit of kit, it's going to need a bit of messing about to fit it, unfortunately.

The filler pipe is a pre-made 12.5mm rubber hose with crimped connections - which won't be long enough to reach my filler, unfortunately, so I'm going to have to get a longer one made up.

In contrast, the single hole kits come with everything required, and the filler pipe is copper tube which you can cut to length yourself.

Kevin, you can buy those pre made pipes in various lengths... Tinley tech definitely do them in longer lengths than you currently have. Perhaps i'll stick to a single hole tank when i get mine for ease because i want the filler in the bumper.

I'm sure it won't be difficult to resolve, but it's much easier when you can cut pipes to length. No 2 installs are the same, after all.

Jeremy said the 3.2 was right on the borderline with a single hole tank and, TBH, I only went for a 4 hole because I occasionally tow heavy loads where the engine is heavily loaded for long periods.

I would be inclined to try a single hole tank.

I reckon I should be ok with the single hole, as mine's only the 3.0, but I'll chat with Jeremy when I've sorted the money for it. My only concern, like yours, is that I tow with it too. Although I did notice this weekend that with both the caravan and the box trailer I'd hired I didn't really need to give it the full beans to get a reasonable shift on! I was reasonably impressed with the mileage too, averaged about 18.5mpg, although I was fairly local.

It'll get a decent test in about a month when we go off for our main holiday!
