Default RE: HELP!! SuperTiger Gas Conversion Fuel Flow Problem.

Hi Jim, Hi All,

UPDATE ON MY PROGRESS!!

I managed to obtain the necessary parts at my local NAPA Auto Parts Store.

These parts are to build a separate header tank which also doubles as a superior fuel filter &
bubbleless engine supply to help solve my mystery bubbles in a pressurized gas setup using
an Iron Bay Fuel Regulator and crankcase pressure supply from my Supertiger G.90.

I didn't have a 2 oz fuel tank available so opted to use a 2 oz Liquitex Acrylic Enamel Plastic Bottle.

Photo #1 below shows the simple items used including K&B 1/8" Brass tubing, long set J B Weld, small
Napa 3051 Pleated Paper Fuel Filter and chromed brass clunk from a damaged 6 oz sullivan fuel tank.
I also used a soldering iron not shown.
Fuel Filter came with a little rubber/plastic check valve inserted in one end.
Its not needed, so I simply pulled it out and discarded it.

Photo #2 Shows the Liquitex bottle cleaned out, cover cap cut off & small center hole drilled for real tight fit
for 1/8" brass tube in screw on cover.
Brass tubes cut to length & inlet tube slightly bent to clear centered filter.
Also I decided to use a discarded clunk and slightly tapered it so that it can be partially inserted into open
end of fuel filter with tight fit.

Photo #3 Shows a close up of the taper i made to the clunk....notice the chrome plating has gone and
now you have a nice surface to solder with.

Photo #4 Shows the 1 1/4" long brass tube soldered to the clunk and clunk in turn soldered to the filter.
All parts were roughtened with sandpaper & alchol cleaned before soldering.

In my next post, I will move on with more how to & associated photos.
