Oil tank outlet on '90-'95 VDs

[troyt]

So the oil tank outlet on my RF93 is on the right side, some are on the left. What is "stock" and what do you have???

Some were bi sexual, some left, some right. Depends on ff or fc set up. If you are lucky, you have a plug on the other side and yours is bi.

holes both sides. Have used the right side for a temp sensor in the past. Went to the left side to eliminate the long hose run to the pump and keep the hose away from the headers. It does add to the packaging problem on the left, especially getting under the starter. Finally added a tap for the temp sensor to the outlet hose and plugged the right side completely.

I can post pics later.

Well mine has no port on left side, definitely a righty only.

My '91 FC is right only. Not too fond of the oil line running right next to header. Have heat insulation on it, does not seem to be a problem, but still not too fond of it.

Now I'm wondering if VD just used the FF bell until 94, and then made it bisexual...

So I happened to go to storage today where my 93 currently resides and I think Rick has the right conclusion . The 93 tank has a right side only outlet. My 94 goes both ways...

I'm wondering if a hard line with hose links would be a better packaging solution....

Finally added a tap for the temp sensor to the outlet hose and plugged the right side completely.

The elbow coming off the tank in your picture looks "customized". Mine is more 'street'...

Wonder why they didn't just tap the tank, add an NPT-AN fitting and use an 90deg AN hose end. Maybe the 93 could be retrofitted that way. Would have to look in the tank..

[Rick Kirchner]

yup, I made that...

Thought about making a tube with two hose ends to go under the starter. -10 with firesleeve on it (to help keep it from grounding out the starter lug, which would sure be nice if it was rotated 90 deg) just barely its under, -12 was not going work.
