fuel tank drill press
Got tired of drilling up when installing my fuel tank.

Re: fuel tank drill press
There's a fine line between drilling a hole and a broken plastic drill motor housing...

Re: fuel tank drill press
It's from CPP and is fuel injection capable. They advertise it as 19 gallons, but when I got it the documentation says it's 20 gallons. I haven't tried to confirm which it is yet, but it fits in there very nice. The only problem I ran into was the sending unit they sold me has directions that will lead you astray. I had to loosen the center nut and turn it 180 to fit the bung hole, which the directions say not to do, and the baffle to the side is about 3/4" closer than what their float measurment will allow. Just got to measure well and consider their directions to be suggestions.
