Re: Rat repair.

Ya know every time i turn around its something else i missed when it comes to the tank The good news is i was able to install the tank without removing the bed support or a major modification for the filler tube, but...

I originally planned a 3/8 burp line when i last repositioned the tank, then i modified my S10 filler and it has a 5/8" burp tube on it so i bought the 5/8 hose and fitting for the tank. I never realized the 5/8 hose won't fit between the tank and bed support after i repositioned the tank like the 3/8" hose did, gonna have to pull the bed off one more time and drill a hole thru the bed support, I have a piece of 1 3/4 pipe i can fit in and weld into place for strength, also found some PVC fittings to line it with if necessary for abrasion resistance, or i can get away with cutting the 1 3/4" pipe in half and welding in a 1/2 section..


I swear I'm about ready to call this project Ground Hog Day, i'm stuck in the middle of it and cant seem to get out.. Now i got to dig my cherry picker back out..

EDIT: Well if i ever do another tank I'll have all the bases covered, Hopefully!
