  1. Mate you will find if you mount them like this you won't be able to close the lid.

     

    What I did was remove the normal feed valve, flip the siphon tube 90deg and put it back in so it aims down. The way I have mine, the lid closes fine. I need mine signed off by a gas certified before the engineer will sign off, but I don't see an issue with that at all.

     

    this is how i planed to run it, thats right hey?

    i talked to a gas guy today about fitting 2 lines and 2 locks in the engine bay it was $300ish labor and about $30 a metre for some flexy 10mm gas line crap at 30ish bucks a metre and at 8 metres sounds pricy as and 3 hours to fit i must be paying for there hour lunch break to LOL

     

    that and they will not sign off my system :( somone recomend me somone who will around here


  2. That stud goes straight into the water jacket, so that's common to leak if not sealed somehow. As for it happening infrequently, I'd say its linked to humidity and condensation. Put a catch can on it if you don't already. Mine traps about 100mls every 2-3 months and crap fuel in high comp engine can also lead to water mist from the combustion in the block.

     

    Put a catch can on it and make sure it has some form of suction back into the intake and it should go away


  3. Yeah may be just condensation. I had this last year about this time, I was concerned about milky water and drops of water in the oil, but dipstick always clear oil. I ended up compression testing , all good, so got the whole lot pulled down and checked and nothing wrong.

     

    To stop the condensation, all I did was instead of having the breather on the catch can go to atmosphere, I just attached a hose to the top side of the carb hat, so gave slight suction to keep the water mist or condensation out of the engine, and its all gone. Still get milky oil on underside of the cap until its warmed up if I haven't driven it in a week or so.

     

    Depends how much water and how you found it. I first found mine last year when dumping the oil, started seeing milky oil on underside of oil cap, so dumped the oil and found about a cap full of water in the oil and panicked, but ultimately it was all fine, but cost me $1200 to strip clean and test to be sure..!
