Quick question Dave. There are two ports on the top of my tank, do I use one as a vent and plug the other? Or is there something else that secondary port should be used for?

Mine is the basic non-EFI tank with a top fill, sending unit port, and 2 vents. Thanks.

The fitting closest to the fill is the Vent and the other is a return if needed. Plug it off if you don't plan to use it. You can use the Nylon Plugs that we supply for shipping purposes since they are fuel resistant.

Awesome! Thanks Dave for such a fast reply!

no moa · 03-23-2012, 12:28 PM

Make sure you guys are posting pics of your installs (if Dave doesn't mind on this thread) i can't want to see how they fit.

2002yanks · 03-23-2012, 10:13 PM

My tank came in today. Very nice, and very high quality workmanship!
I wish I could install it right away, but I have a long way to go.
Thanks Dave!

Tshort1 · 03-27-2012, 06:03 AM

My Tank came in today and it is already installed and working as advertised. Thanks to my Friend for helping me install and thanks to Dave for a great price and product!

**Clyde65** · 03-27-2012, 09:22 AM

I got mine yesterday, I wanted to install it last night but my luck the truck would be down so I didnt. What are yall doing that have the bed wood in place already?

Tshort1 · 03-27-2012, 09:35 AM

Mine is a steel bed and I allready had the bed off so it was a real easy install. When the bed goes back on I will be cutting a hole in the bed and making a flush mount door in the floor to acces the filler cap.

no moa · 03-28-2012, 02:23 PM

got mine today, very nice workmanship. Excellent packaging!!

Portmod7 · 03-28-2012, 02:44 PM

Mine showed up last night. I'll post an install pic in a week or so. Thanks Dave!

SDC10 · 03-28-2012, 10:50 PM

Hey Dave, I know I'm late to this party but I really need one of these tanks. Can I order one at the group buy price ?? If not when do you think the next group buy will be?

nomrlz · 03-30-2012, 01:13 PM

got my tank today. thanks again dave

funkytechmonkey · 03-31-2012, 09:58 AM

How are you guys running the bedfill with these tanks? Most of the flush mount bed fillers are the marine 1 1/2" and the filler neck on the tank is 2 1/4"

biohazardbill · 04-03-2012, 08:50 PM

I did not get mine through this offer but bought one and worked with them to move the mounting brackets up for my laid out 65 burban and still also use the factory fill tube. Carbed engine and went with pick up tube instead of gravity feed...

Installed:

Clearance when laid out:

Anyone interested in trading a sidefill for my bed fill?

silver7 · 04-07-2012, 09:18 AM

Hey guys. Anyone have any good pics they can post of how they plumbed the tank they bought from Boyd? Bought a grooup buy tank last year and looking to get my lines set-up. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shawn

and fitting adapter part#JEGS #555-100147

Dave,

I bought this set-up shortly after I received my tank over 12 months ago only to later realize this must have been posted before you supplied a vent since the thread size on this is different than the vent thread size you supplied with the tank I received. I plan to plug my return opening since I don't need it, so my question is which vent is better - this vent from JEGS or the vent I received with the tank?

Thanks,
Shawn
