Hi,
I know the best specialists of Dickinson are here!
May I ask where do you locate the hi temp fuel shut off kit sold by Dickinson ( a well customized Teddington appliance)?
Answer 1 : between oil metering valve and 12v pump ( this is my fitting )?
Answer 2: after 12v pump ?
About overflow feature, Dickinson recommand to connect a pipe running to the engine room back to the main tank or in a dedicated tank. That means you do not see if some overfow happened and go in the drip tray ( antartic model). Option 1
My dealer recommand to let the small copper pipe hanging loose above the drip tray and nothing else. But this drip tray in one cm high and 25 cm circular, not very large in case of severe overflow, option 2
What is the best option to avoid potential disaster?
Answer : option 1 or option 2?
The game is not finish...
About fuel supply, Dickinson recommands to add one or two feet of copper pipe before going with approved fuel rubber hose .
My dealer said: go direct with flexible rubber hose just after the small copper pipe delivered with the heater connected on the oil metering valve, it is not too hot under the heater.
Answer 1 : add more connection and work with extra copper rigid pipe
Answer 2: take it easy and run with rubber diesel hose
What should I do
Many thanks by advance for your replies and advices????
