Default Questions

Hello Bill,

I am french and purchased a Marvin smoke system too. I am going to install it and have some questions :

-Can you tell me how you install the pump on the tank ? I suppose you weld it ?

-Do you have more pictures about your installation (the path of the pump pipe from the pump to the firewall.)

-I saw you installed a quick disconnect system. What do you think about that after using ?

I'll put some picture of mine when finish.

In advance thank you
Sylvain

Default Marvin's site

Hello Sylvain,

If you go to Marvin's site, he has listings for many optional parts to assist with oil line routing and a kit to secure the pump to the tank.

http://www.smoke-system-helper.com/individual-parts/

In a separate conversation, Marvin also suggested Gorilla Brand two sided tape to secure the mounting bars to the tank. This would be instead of the Scotch Weld listed in the sub-kit.

Good luck,
