          Looks pretty cool.

          I don't like the look of the fuel dump, is that really what was left in your tin?

              Ha, that tin was a tuna tin and its what I got out of the water separator on the fuel filter. Initially I thought I got a dose of dirty fuel at Kunarwarritji as the vehicle kept loosing power. It turned out the after market immobiliser installed so I could have remote central locking was intermittently cutting the fuel supply - but that's another story.

              We didnt use the fuel dump, apparently its only used by tour groups now.
