Bucketlist Blazer -Restomod build 6.6liter L8T

[NDM]

Small but big updates.

Power steering reservoir is fabricated our of a cheap Amazon tank.

I also got on the plasma cutter and cut the two top sections of my 304 stainless tank. The official size should be 28.328 gallon. This should get me plenty for a good road trip. I am estimating about 20 mpg if I drive like a normal human being. The tank is built out of water tight outdoor enclosures. They used to house tower lighting components. The tank will be pressure tested prior to use. It is 304 stainless steel. The primary reason for using this is that it only cost me time, argon for the tig welder and some 308 tig rods. This tank should survive E85 fuel better than steel.







Figured out my drop in fuel module. It will have two -8AN supply locations and a vent location. The return port will be welded into the bottom edge of the tank to serve as the return port and a way to drain the tank. I would simply remove the -8AN return fitting to drain the tank. As an added benefit, by removing the hose at the filter/regulator, I will be ably to drop the line into a fuel can.

I created the 304 stainless plate out of scrap metal that I had. I created a couple wooden templates that will allow me to quickly hand cut the holes with my plasma cutter vs trying to do everything with drill bits and saws. Plasma torch saves a ton of time. I wish I had a cnc plasma table. I would use the absolute hell out of it!
