New poly tank is in finally.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well after this tank sitting in my closet for 2 years I finally got around to installing it.. It went in pretty good I replaced all the fuel lines except the ones running to the filler neck which I will do asap. This is the 1st time I have been able to fill up my blazer with-out gas leaking from every hose. I do have 3 complaints though..

1 the ploy tank dont hold its shape very well......

2 I could not find new pads for the tank straps..anyone know where I can get em?

3 the new tank straps mount to the frame but I just could not get em to look nice??? maybe some plack paint is in order...

Last items I need are new fuel filler hose and a new locking gas cap..

If anyone sees anything I may have done wrong please let me know.. Next project lokar tranny linkage install and a wash and wax...

Wow, you need one eh? Any issues with the filler neck?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-20-2008, 11:01 AM

Yes but I just cut the old one so i could get the shape I needed and then slipped it inside of the fuel hoses...

what if you use a bicycle inner tube for padding?

Looks like you need a skid plate if you plan on banging this one up like the last one!

Hey I got one of them I don't need, but shipping would be a killer

Ya I have been considering a skid plate.. I dont wheel this but it would be nice to have some protection back there....
