Original Lister Cs Engines / Lister L Questions
« on: June 07, 2018, 10:49:48 PM »
Hi All,
Fantastic forum and I've searched but not been able to find the answer I was looking for.
I have a Lister L that I use to power my off grid cabin via an alternator. It does a fantastic job and listening to it running is like hearing the waves crash at the beach for me.
I have a small 12l cylinder fuel tank hanging off the back but am wondering what is the best way to attach a larger tank. As it currently has the vacuum line and rigid fuel line for the top would I just need to fabricate a bigger one for these to plug into? Or can I put a low pressure fuel pump in and use a rubber line to the main fuel line? Perhaps gravity fed? Anyway, I'm after ideas. Attached is a pic of the fuel line to the left of the flywheel.
The other question I have is to what looks like a pressure relief valve that is on the side of the head. I got myself an instruction manual but it doesn't mention it. What does this do?
Cheers
Damian
