Removing Reserve tank

[Lunner]

Who's done it?

Is it as easy as taking tanks off and then just swapping pipes over so it don't switch to reserve?

im looking at fuel systems now.

I think you need a filler pipe from another renault without the reserve tank.

i've done it, piece of piss, get a low model clio without the tank tubing, rip the tank off and filler neck and replace with the bypass tube

the only thing is the fitment isnt spot on as the lower clios dont have flared arches

this is what need removing, the bypass pipe is a direct replacement to the tank, only thing is theres one less connection on the bypass, so note which breather it is when u change, and stick a bolt n jubille clip on the end of the spare tube, job done

could i not samco elbow and SS tube it?

[MAXIBOY]

yes and no.

won,t have the breathers and samco hoses is not for fuel use unless lined.

[Coops]

plus its more expensive, plus u need to botch the samco to the filler neck top. the conversion on mine cost a total of £5 from the local scrappers!
