Re: Fuel tank conversion pix

Hey Alan,

Here is how I did my side fill. Stainless fuel injection tank is from Rick's Hot rod Shop. I had them put in a sender for the stock gage and one for the computer. Tank is ~18 gal and doesn't hang down very far. I fabbed the fuel inlet tubing and used a fuel cell snout for the filler and cap.

Well Alan, the board is so screwed up that it seems impossible for me to post pics.

OK I figured out how to manually resize so here are the pics.

Side fill like to the bed side? Where the cap goes it is threaded you could put a 45 on it and run it to wherever you want.

Is there enough clearance under the bed floor?

Re: Fuel tank conversion pix

When time allows...I plan on fabbing up my own rear tank. I know I could make a custom one for way cheaper than even the Blazer tank.

I used the No-limit one on my customers '67...very nice piece, but pricey for me right now.

I plan to build a tank to utilize the whole space back there, but kinda wrap under the frame too......keep'n it only about 6" max below the frame, mabey less....
