Re: Mustang tank install help...

Yes I did, about an inch on each side of the bottom portion of the frame. That left about ab 1/8 of an inch of space on each side of the bottom of the tank, so it didn't touch the sides and the tank slid right in. The tricky part was bolting it down. As I mentioned before, I measured quite a bit and made sure all clearances were met. No rubbing or pinching anywhere. On this particular tank, the pick up tube is in bottom rear, so you might have to drill an access hole to run your fuel line in the cross member behind the differential. I had to drill a half inch hole and then used a large debering tool, just to widen it a bit more to run my 3/8 fuel line. Today, I'll install the fuel sender and add a vent hole at the top of the tank. Anyone have any suggestions on how to drill and tap a hole in the tank for the vent line?
