gravity feed Diesel tank

[murph1]

Hello all, I just bought a gravity fed diesel tank and need to change parts from barrel to nozzle. TSC has let me down on stock parts. Barrel is 1" out and would like to stay 1" through out. Any ideas guy's???

I don’t know what the question is but I have a gravity feed diesel tank that flows good. It’s all 1” and it’ll run 25 gallons in a couple minutes.

You should install an in-line filter however your flow rate will be greatly reduced with gravity feed.

Also an auto shutoff delivery nozzle will probably not work.

Other than that not much to say. One inch pipe fittings and hose.

Your outlet end of the tank should be a degree or two HIGHER than the back end.

Mine has an in-line filter. I couldn’t find any nozzles that work with low pressure so I built my own.

You’re smarter than me. Years ago when we had gravity tanks I would have a wooden wedge on hand to block the handle open.

Not the brightest thing to do if you have ADS.
