I have been told that they put a smaller tank in to make way for the lowered floor. But this information comes third hand. Seems to me that they are rushing the conversion to keep up with the orders. And people like you and me are paying the price for the bad workman's ship. Which is a shame because I personally think that cab direct are the best in what they do. I have never had a problem with the conversion before. Only the vehicles they are based on
They are correct, the tank is taken out and a small tank installed, same with the adblue tank on them, they replace it with a smaller adblue tank, the problems start because there's not enough pressure for the fuel pumps to operate.
The dealership didn't do it under warranty, Cab Direct had to foot the bill because it was a converted part.
The fuel tank was only held in by one thread on all of the bolts, the mechanic at the dealership said, this is a bodge job mate and shouldn't be on the road, a good few bumps and the tank would have fell off it was that loose.
He's not going back there for another car, he was close to sending it back but they conned him by saying that his 14 day cooling off period had finished. He didn't know about the fit for purpose law or he would have sent it back.
