A good link in that auction, too, regarding care and feeding of those things.

Wow - I had never heard of them being made for Type-248's. (Not that they did)

Learn a new 30 year-old rumor every day! (Well, not every day.)

All good except I'd totally would not use his hook-up directions, you'd end up with a whopping tonnage of possible leak points using all those tee's. My set up uses only two tees...

Main tank left petcock line go straight to the upper inlets of the left Luft tank; same for the right. Each bottom Luft petcock lines go directly to it's corresponding carb inlet. INBETWEEN the bottom lines, put in two tee's to make the cross-over.

And that's all the tanks need for hook up. The above has about half the fuel line connections as Snowbums.

Sold for 200 smackers. Has the high price ebay days for the Lufties run out of gas? It looks like it did at least for this seller's set.
