    bee utey, good morning,
    I have a stand alone system from a 93 Disco . Don't I need the speed sensor as well wired in , originally on the Disco this plugged in not directly to the EFI harness so I don't know what to do with it / where to tap it into the EFI harness. Do you wire in the fuel cut-off switch ? I read somewhere that there is an inhibitor switch wiring , and with a manual trans this has a certain resitance installed and then grounded ? I think its the orange wire hanging out of the end of the harness before the main 9 pin plug , would the reistance already be in the harness or would it be in the main body harness somewhere ?
    Questions Questions , Cheers

    You can complicate this thing as much as you like, I'm only telling you what I did and the fact that it worked without any other crap wired in. As for the D1 harness, its too short to put the ECU next to the battery so you'll have to live with that or extend the harness to wherever.

    I am actually trying to un-complicate it, thanks anyway.
    As for the computer, I wasn't real keen on locating it in the battery environment.
    Little things like the fuel cut off switch would make the install legal , but WGAF anyway right , keep it SIMPLE.

    If it would help, I'd be happy to post a few photos of the Rangie EFI fuel tank setup that Bee-utey described

    Looks very neat indeed. You'd be hard-pressed to tell it was non-standard without lifting the bonnet… or front passenger seat

    Here you are. I've labeled them with figure numbers for easy reference.

    Figure 1: Tank.


    Figure 2: Tank.


    Figure 3: View of fuel tank from driver's side wheel arch.


    Figure 4: View of fuel tank from driver's side wheel arch.


    Figure 5: Close up of fuel filler pipe area (from driver's side).


    Figure 6: Oxygen Sensor behind the Y in the exaust. Not sure if this is for the petrol fuel injection system or the fancy new gas controller that Bee-uety installed at the same time.


    Figure 7: Fuel injection loom exiting the battery box.


    Figure 8: The ECU in the battery compartment (other side of the above) all covered in some Martian terrain. Note: everything connected by ribbed tube is unrelated. The small, smooth tube going off to the right goes down the passenger side of the chassis to… the fuel gauge sensor and/or fuel pump?


    Figure 9: View of the tank from the passenger side wheel arch. The other end of the wire mentioned above.


    Figure 10: Engine bay overview. It’s the original 3.5 block underneath all that noodlework.


    Figure 11: Looking down on the injection manifold. Sorry, should have used a flash.


    Let me know if you need photos of anything else or same components from another angle. If you want to zoom in closer, you can grab the high-res images and a few more angles from here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m1a3bbh8m...QZw-Xq8nfPmoYa

    If I remember correctly, the fuel pump runs the whole time, even when on gas. Apparently this is possible because the early fuel injection systems are too simply to know that you've shut off power to the injectors. This makes change-over between gas and petrol super fast. Barely misses a beat, even if I do it going up hill. It does however also mean that if I ever run completely out of petrol, I'll need to pull the fuel pump fuse out in order to save the petrol pump from expiring itself.

    For anyone considering this modification for a V8 over the original carbi setup, I can recommend it highly. If you are in SA, Bee-utey is the man to see.
