depending on how hard u drive in the first 5 minutes (u shouldnt drive hard at all) it will go up quick if u rev alot. mine take about 10 minutes if im driving, and 15 if its just idleing, the fan does automatically turn on when the engine is running, as far as i know it it stays on.

I also find that the light going on is not always consistent with level on the fuel guage. Eg. Once, I was touching the E with the needle without the light on. Other times I've had the light come on when it hits the bottom line.

I've never put in 60L though! Can't image where the needle would be on my car for that! I normally get 400-450kms at the bottom line.

My light also fades on/off as I drive, eg. gradually gets brighter/darker as the fuel level changes (while driving) - is this what you guys get?

Yep

But fuel wont just sit still in the tank, it will move around. If you accelerate heavily, fuel will head to the back of the tank, i think the meter is on the front, so it occasionally lights up.

The light is really only accurate when you have been sitting still for about a minute.

My meter wil drop below empty sometimes before the light comes on, mostly when im crawling home in peak hour

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
