Bucketlist Blazer -Restomod build 6.6liter L8T

[NDM]

Tank filler and two vents are welded in. I used leftover 1.5 inch stainless exhaust tubing from my Honda chopper exhaust build for the filler. The vents are just stainless 3/8 90 degree barbs that I got off Amazon. I pressure tested and welded up any holes before I added these three so I know that the tank will be leak free once I add a viton seal to the sending unit and fuel pump module. It appears that the stinking teflon does not seal well. The viton sheet should solve that. I still have to fab up either tank straps or tabs to hang the tank. I am leaning toward tank straps like factory. I have three pieces of 1/8 in thick stainless bars that are 1.5 in wide x 48 in long. I can bend them up and drill a couple holes and be done.

The only thing left to weld is the 5/8 in filler neck vent. Hallelujah!

Some of my welds are not too bad. Others are not great but oh well.

Thanks. I am hoping to have the tank installed and plumbed this weekend. By next week I should be able to drive it.
