Banjo Corp has built one of the most trusted names in the industry for their 1 inch Polypropylene bulkhead tank fittings. Although the applications for tank fittings are virtually unlimited, they are specifically designed for IBC Tanks and other large tank applications.


My entire trailer is painted with iron armor truck bed paint, so it is completely black. It was easy to see the previous fitting was leaking because it had eaten through the paint on the wood (right under bulkhead) and then some of the wood.

A 26B is essentially two 13B engines stuck together, so we started with two SARD Fuel Rail kits which included fittings, spacers and mounting hardware. The intake manifold has no position for the secondary fuel rail(s), so they were tossed. Since we are not adapting these fuel rails to an existing 13B as they were intended, the adapter fittings were tossed and new ones ordered to allow two primary fuel rails to function as one.


Next I used some aluminum hard line precisely cut and flared to mate the two rails at their exact distance. It was tricky, but I nailed it on the second try. After the center section was installed, the primary feed line was created using the same aluminum tubing.


All we needed was a quick fit check of the intake manifold to complete the main engine fuel component installations. The blue and gold offers such a high contrast to the polished aluminum. It really pops quite nicely.


Now we can move on to the heart of the fuel system: The Pumps. There are three fuel pumps required to feed this monstrous 26B.Two pumps are located inside the SARD Fuel Surge Tank which will be installed in the rear hatch section of the cabin area. The third fuel pump is located in the factory fuel tank.


With the fuel tank remaining below the car in it's factory location, a little bit of plumbing needed to be done between the two of them. This is where the black anodized Russel fuel lines and an experienced tube bender, yours truly, came into the mix once the tank mounting location was chosen.


With the front and rear section done, we have to fill in the blanks. The mid section is the easiest but is far from routine. Starting with the bottom side of the surge tank bulkhead fittings, two in and out barbed 90's were added to direct fuel between the two tanks.


Once the locations of the components were set, all that remained was to connect everything with Russel black aluminum hard line and fittings. While it does take a bit of time to seamlessly route everything and connect it, the end result is worth every second. There are no hanging lines or areas to give any kind of problems down the road which is exactly what we want.
