Re: Tech: Blazer Tank Conversion Fuel Filler Delete

Step 1: Weld or epoxy bolt to back of the fuel filler blank (see picture above)


Step 2: Paint old grinding disk to use as a backer for inside of delete and to not look too ghetto from inside.

Step 3: Install rubber fuel neck filler grommet w/ cone side of grommet on the inside of the truck and the flat side on the outside.

Step 4: Insert fuel filler delete with the bolt going into cab.

Re: Tech: Blazer Tank Conversion Fuel Filler Delete

Step Five: On the inside of cab insert old grinding disk with flat side first on then bolt, then washer, then wing nut. Tighten

Step five: Here is what you end up with. (I left blank unpainted for demonstration purposes.)

If you want to you can add a bead of silicone before you tighten the delete down all the way.

Good thinking Primered_69,very ingenious. Another option other than welding the hole up , good job.

Re: Tech: Blazer Tank Conversion Fuel Filler Delete

that would work good with the body pannel adhesive that they use now instead of welding.
