Hi could anyone confirm I can replace my diesel tank with a a tank from a petrol car and which of the 3 small outlet inlets needs to be blanked off? Many thanks

Thank you. Hopefully all will be fine.

Thank you both for your help. I will try this next week and report back.

Hi Thank you for the reply. There is a adjuster under the heat shield. A 19mm nut with a hex in the middle. Is this the one?

What link did you need? I have managed to buy one second hand this evening.

The kit comes with adaptor plates and sleeve. The force screw is then used with adaptor plates and sleeve to remove bearing and to insert new one. Then adaptor and force screw to fit hub

Thank you for the reply on tis. Has anyone had experience of this tool?
