Re: fuel tank help
I only know this, and I am sure you will get some responses, but I believe fuelcellguy is the one you are talking about. I agree this is a great site!

Re: fuel tank help
yep, fuelcellguy makes them from scratch. I think that you use a 90ohm sending unit.. good luck.

Re: fuel tank help
With all the SWB swaps, I have to wonder, is there room to put a tank above the driveline, just behind the cab and under the bed in a LWB? It would be nice to jut run the filler upper to the stock location.

Re: fuel tank help
Any 90ohm sending unit should work. www.tanksinc.com
Lots of parts there, and even more accessories on the accessories page (Link: http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/pa...=cat/cat62.htm )

Re: fuel tank help
classic performance products shows some measurements for an aluminum
gas tank on page 58 of their catalogue. a square tank would be 9 inches deep, 19 and 1/4 inches long and 27 and 1/4 inches wide. they show a slope of 2 and 3/4th inches from front to back. I assume for exhaust clearance coming over the axle. They also show some bed fill gas fill necks. Also early classic enterprises website has a nice tech article on mounting under the bed tanks. Hope this helps, poco. |
