Re: Blazer Tank Install

$15.00 potential solution

I picked up a couple of copper 1 1/4 street ells. The "big" end is a perfect slip fit over the tank inlet, the "small" end is 1 3/8 OD, so its a perfect receptor for the gas hose.

I had to trim about a inch off the tank filler tube to insure no interference with the frame or body mount, but I suspect no two of these import tanks are the same so this might not work for everyone.

I researched copper for gas line, but the only reference I could find was that the coast guard requires copper line on boats, maybe it's preferred in saltwater environments. Anyone know of any issues using copper?

Still have to figure out a better solution on the straps.....
