Cut the nipple ? Is there an easily accessible take off ?

From what research I did there are 2 ways depending which model you have.

1) Drop the fuel tank off totally and remove the fuel sender unit, drill a hole and fit the heater diesel pick up pipe.
2) If you have T6.1 it may have the pickup already on the sender unit and you can cut the nipple off and the fuel connector snaps onto this. This way you do not have to remove the tank.

There may be other ways that i am not aware of but i did mine using option 2

Yes, see the page 1 of this thread, and there are photos of what the nipple looks like, and the connection you need for it.

T6.1 diesel heater install

Well 8pm on a Thursday is as good a time as any to start installing a night heater! Can anyone tell me where I need to drill the hole in this fuel sender for the stand pipe for the heater? It looks different to the one in my T6 which had a nice square to aim for.

Thanks for that mines a t5.1 so no nipple apparently.
