Building a WL Statesman VZ ute

[Fu Manchu]

Airbags are in the seats. I don't know where the sensors are. You would have to look at a Crewman.

Crewman have two front and some have two in the front seats. WL may have them in the rear as well.

I posted the workshop manual. That has how to build a Commodore from loose panels. The answer is in that download. Go to WL. Go through all the buttons to get to the service tech info. It will also have the plug pin out details and procedures for repairs or mods involving tech2.

It won’t work on a phone or tablet.

Picked the ute up today - it turns over but won’t fire , had no fuel pressure so checked the fuel tank - filler cap had a bit of rust staining around it so decided to pull the tank out and we found the tank is full of crap , totally covered with some horrible black residue so will be picking up a new tank tomorrow

Righto, first of many stupid questions- fuel tanks and pumps. I see there is a V6 and a V8 pump , are the tank and lines the same ? Could a V8 pump be used to run a V6 short term and are the sedan pumps the same as a ute ? If possible I would like to just fit the Stato pump in the ute tank as it’s working perfectly right now

When doing the two pumps in the two Crewmans I have V6 and V8, both pumps are the same.
The tanks are identical.

The tanks will be the same for VU to VZ I’d imagine. Only the pump assembly that would differ.

Where the fuel system can differ is if one is returnless. Others could have a return.

VZ is generally returnless on V8 and V6.

The assemblies them selves may have a different sender between V6 and V8.

Cheers Fu Manchu , are you in Perth ?? Picked up another tank today plus a few more bits I needed, got a tank that looks brand new inside and out with a V6 pump AND it was half full of fuel , also scored two of the bits for around the rear windscreen - a plain one without the brake light in it which is what I wanted, a retrimmed headliner , a fuel flap and a right rear bumper all for $250
