    I have a cheap bulb siphon with tubing as an emergency backup so I can stick one end in the Aux and the other down the main and squeeze like hell. Would be a total pain in the arse but possibly a life saver in the event of a pump failure.

    I really like the long ranger set up, you know how much is in each tank, you can fill them separately, they are isolated from each other you can top up on go.

    Ok that sounds completely reasonable to me and to be frank I hadn't thought of that.

    When I get back from holidays I'll be changing my order I just made before Christmas from a gravity tank to a Long Ranger tank for the D3. ...

    Thanks for that.

    cheers,
    Terry

    Yes that's what Gordon advised to however how to get hose in aux tank?
    can't see the inlet at all as it must be behind the bend...

    In event of failure one can find the right way

    I thought the 80L was gravity feed so suspect your one is the 108L (LRA?) tank.

    strange, I have the front runner bash plate and that's supposed to fit to the Dolium 80l tank, unfortunately the OL invoice is also not very descriptive
