Water pipe on 1.9 diesel

[72panelvan]

Hi,

How have people dealt with the heater tube coming out of the end of the head on the diesel engines? Theres not enough clearence with the tank to run the standard plastic fitting, so have you fab'd some customs bits or have you blocked it off completely and joined it up elsewhere?

Many thanks

for mine i made up a flat plate 5mm thick the same size as plastic housings base and brazed in a tight steel elbow it was part of a old deck chair frame

then use a paper gasket from a early type engine with the alloy type heater housing as the later plastic housing is sealed by a o-ring also some engines have a sensor in the rear housing for the glowplug relay this will have to be moved to the top hose

question I have is what angle is the engine running at? is it using the T25 bell housing or an adaptor plate?

I have a t25 engine and on the back of the head I have a small alloy outlet and theres also some sort of like pressure switch.

do these clear with T25 bell housings?

the little pressure switch thingy is the glow plug temperature sensor
