Sure Harry did a lost in this year's back, may even be in the how-to section.

On this subject, I want to fit one to my 1.8t

Does anyone have the wiring info for the plug on the fbh handy?

From memory, wrt Harry’s trial, doing a separate fuel supply with red diesel wasnt worth the effort, as they don’t consume that much.
Hopefully Harry will advise.
However, I can see why trikey would do a separate fuel supply on a 1.8T🔥😱

The fbh may or may not self bleed.

To ensure a fuel supply:
- disconnect the fuel connection at the fbh, and put it into a jar.
- rig up a temporary electrical circuit to the dosing pump, with one wire connected to a terminal on a spare battery, the other wire can be touched on and off repeatedly to the other terminal.
- This will mimic the pulsed signal from the fbh, required to operate the pump.
- when you see fuel coming into the jar, you should be ok to reconnect the fuel supply to the fbh.

Nice one...
But, do you need a breather tube on that wee tank?
Otherwise wont it suck itself in?

Would you let us know how much it consumes, if used say it once a day for a week?

Just as you turn the pump on, that would be good for a laugh 🤣🤣🤣
