In cab fuel tank
Originally, I wasn't going to put the tank back in (PO removed it). Then i realized my saddles did not have senders. Not in the mood to cut holes yet but i scored a tank this past weekend. I spent the weekend searching thru these threads looking for pictures of line routing and screenshotting for reference . Then today I came to the realizing that I don't have all that evap stuff installed on my truck. So, do I even need to install all those vapor lines? I can just cap them off?

Re: In cab fuel tank
I think so. My '68 only has one output line going to the fuel pump. Works great for 51 years. Make sure you get a venting fuel cap.

Re: In cab fuel tank
Yup. Vented cap and you're home free. I see that some factory installed saddle tanks had senders and floats and a switch to indicate which tank was in use and the level. I wouldn't mind having a set up like that. I just have to guess at mileage and switch tanks before I run out, so I'm never sure how much fuel is left.

Re: In cab fuel tank
They do have senders, I would just recommend flushing them out. They were garnished up just like my the in cab was. I didn't see any rust. If you want them let me know. I can put you in touch. He's located in Poway. I kinda want them, but not really.
