Hi guys,
I am starting to plumb a vent line from the brown Davis 90litre tank to the LS engine. Has anyone done the same and what diameter size did you use? Thanks in advance.

If its a vent line for the charcoal canister I think I used the original size and from my rusty memory it was 5/16"

You will probably need a larger fuel line for the LS, you can use the original fuel line for the vapour line, but you will probably have to fit a fuel/vapour separator back near the tank too. Google and see what is around, I was looking at one of these for my HK to pickup the original fuel vent line and the vent off the MRA.

I'm utilizing a 3/8 for fuel line. I thought I dont need a fuel/vapour separator in the injected engine.

Thanks for your reply mate. Appreciate it.

I have the original little fuel vapour separator mounted in the original spot by the tank and a VZ Commodore charcoal canister mounted up the front under the inner guard.

Engineer wanted me to have a charcoal canister, has been fine. 

Recently had it off and it didn't leak any fuel out
