graham.dillaway Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I am looking at re-locating my PRV from its normal place(underneath the car on the chassis rail) to inside the boot as per the TR6 set up. Has anyone got any photos of the TR6 set up? regards Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roy53 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Graham I have done exactly that as per the drawing. What i would advise is that you also plumb the return fuel from the metering unit back into the tank as per the later TR6s so that the pump is feed only cooler fuel.

graham.dillaway Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 thanks for the advice - just what I was looking for regards Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianhoward Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi Graham Mine is in the boot as per the drawing... I take it yours must be an 'early' built example to have it elsewhere(?) I think you did once tell me the comm. no. - mine is 2366... Hope all is well... Brgds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graham.dillaway Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hi Ian - Yes mine is an early one - CP386 however I thought all the TR5's had them underneath..... Learn something everyday. regards Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I prefer mine underneath.It makes it so easier for service works and the petrol spillage which results, outside of the boot area.I know you have to jack up the TR and place on axle stands.but I still prefer it.My Bosch pump is also underneath.

Brett Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Same here, I moved every possible petrol smell source outside the boot: Bosch pump, prefilter, PRV (stayed on the rail), and now I can put my suitcase in the boot with no petrol-perfuming my personal belongings when touring!

Regards Harry TR5 Nutter. Hello Harry, any chance of a photo of your installation "Underneath" and have you made your tank outlet pipe to 8mm as I read was reccommended somewhere, and more, do you use a catch tank, or coil of fuel pipe to eliminate poor feed problems when low on juice?

harrytr5 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi Peter, I will take a photo tomorrow and post.I have a stainless fuel tank which should have had baffles and built in swirl pot but is the same as the early TR5 and I get the same problems when low on fuel.Bit too late to take back now.May have to do some sort of deal with the constructer to change.
