Thanks for the comments! I think the wood turned out great. I experimented with several stains until I found one that I liked. This one has a slight orange tint, which looks nice with the orange paint.

Mordachai- I think that I used 1.5" because things were pretty tight in there. After it makes the turn, it expands to 2" into the tank. I added a vent line from the filler to the tank, and a vent on top of the tank, so I'm hoping that I don't have any problems, but we'll see.
