Re: Fuel Cell In...
You have it in backwards, the pickup should be to the rear of the truck. Also, your vent should make a loop (I can't tell if it does or not), helps to keep dirt and debris from entering the fuel cell.
Looks good otherwise.

Re: Fuel Cell In...
I was replying to 82c10
You shouldn't use that much rubber line for fuel, you should hard line it or use stainless braided line. Safety issue. Pickup is always in the rear because upon acceleration, fuel is pushed backwards...and if the pickup is in the front, fuel may not make it out of the tank up to the engine. I asked many people when I did mine, including a local reputable speed shop...they all said put the pickup in the back. I wondered if the same was true for braking...but was never given a good answer.

Re: Fuel Cell In...
You want your pickup to the back because under acceleration the fuel will move to the back of the tank.
