Unimogs are real fun...special the old short 406 with the big engine. a buddy has one....i've repaired the front axle. Its a "relatively" filigree construction, just barely strong enough.
Thats true for the hole vehicle.
The newer Mogs are ugly as ****....
If you turn up the engine for just a...
i don't even know if the correct name for this thing is gas can spout....but i guess it can be misunderstood if i write " i make my own donkeydick ".....

i take the comments and suggestions as a inspiration and playing ideas together. i don't feel offended or degraded. just enjoy the conversation about a simple piece of metal and the thoughts and ideas around.
maybe ...but the US design is cooler!
I like the threaded cap. If its not tight, just use more force......
Tooltime solution...more power!
and it fits in the can holder:mrgreen:
For the flexible tube - i've used both - solid and flexible. My personel opinion is that the solid is easier to handle, special with a full and heavy can. With the flexible you can't rest the spout on the tank to transfer the weight. My choose for a solid tube was well considered. I made the...
I give up....:mrgreen:

overengineered is a spout with integrated fuel gauge, LED light for...
thank you!
Inside the threaded part is a O-ring, the tube is turnable...
It's made of stainless steel, i leave it natural.
It's not for sale....it's priceless :-)
The spouts for the US-can are rare in Germany, they want about 45,-- for one...thats 3 times the real value... :-)
Youre right, ou don't need the pump...if you runout of fuel, you'll love it.....open the valve at the first filter, let the pump run, that's it.
Happen to me twice, and i'm happy to have the pump. (actually it was broken and i fixed it...everybody told me you don't need it:-) )
btt.
you...
in the bed will require heavy armor...unless you never transport something in the bed :lol:
my suggestion: move the bed back and mount the tank in the gap between cab and bed.
go to a pro tankbuilder...he knows how to make it... you need formed ends cause they don't break easy at the welds...
why not making a subframe that is solid mounted in the front and flexible in the back ?
something like that :
