Hmmm.... I one day decided to take the drill, with a drillbit (cloth wrapped around it) and some polish paste. Took the grey of the Teledial off and got down to white :evil: Is this right???? Surely not! So, got some progress pics of the polishing steps??

Porsche wheels are usually cast aluminium - shines like a mirror after some heavy polishing

No you dont need to use a fuel cell

You can modify the bottom of the tank to a larger diameter hydraulic tube bend that fastens the std way and
SEND THE TANK INN TO GET THE RETURN pipe FITTED ON

It is also not a must to use a surge tank but it is advisable to feed the EFI pump then
