Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
Dave,
I got my tank today. Looks great, and faster turnaround than I expected. I do have a couple of dumb questions, though. The sender has a center pole, and one off to the side. Is the center one the positive? Also, I have two empy threaded holes, one in the top, and one in the lower front. The lower front is the fuel supply line to the motor and the empty one on top is for a return line if I need one? So, what material should the threaded adapter be, brass, steel, etc? Anything I shouldn't use? Thanks again.

the center pole is the positive and i always though that pole off to the side was for a ground. Actually that is for a Low Fuel Warning light so that would be neat to have.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
Thanks for the update!
Hey I was reading the first few pages of this thread and noticed one guy had a problem with your tank fitting in his 71 with trailing arms. the cross member that is in from the factory at an angle is in the way, he sent his back and had you modify it to fit..... Has the design been changed since then to accommodate? I have the same suspension setup. |

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
Just got the tank from UPS! Looks awesome Dave! Can't wait to get it installed. I would like to confirm that the sending unit is setup or not. I don't want to take it apart if I don't need to

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
Yes all senders should be set correctly. all you need to do is run your wires.
