It will depend on the changes. I will still offer a discounted price.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

If there are any changes to the structure of the tank then no the group buy price will not apply. I will give a discount while this is running though give me a call on Monday and ill see what we can work out.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

I have never worked with Porterbuilt parts. That question is probably better answered by Porterbuilt or someone who has their parts.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

I just placed my order Dave! Thanks for this offer :metal:

I requested a 0-30 ohm sender if it's available, if not I will use the 0-90 and resister.

Thanks again! ;)

Mine is suppose to be delivered today! Awesome turn around!

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

^^^^ YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME! I want mine! lol

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.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Looks great! Mine's supposed to be delivered Monday......can't wait.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Can't wait to get mine either , looks like a great tank waiting to get that tracking info.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

You are right. The 3/8 on the top is a return if needed and the 3/8 on the pass front bottom is your fuel draw.

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
 

Received my tank yesterday and what a professional team Dave has. The turnaround after ordering was great, the packing was super and support is timely. After leaving a voice mail for Dave, I got a call right back. Great Job to Dave and his team - I have no doubt this was the right choice.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

How many people use the return, does it HAVE to be used?

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Most carb applications do not need a return unless you are using a high flow pump that is regulated down. Some applications have a return at the regulator or the fuel pump. If you don't use the return fitting. use a Brass Plug that you can buy at any hardware store or home depot/lowes.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

:UPDATE:
Almost all are finished and being packaged as we speak. Our vendor was not prepared for the bump in volume of roll over vents needed so there is a little lead time. I expect most tanks to ship by the middle of the week.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Thanks for the update!!

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Awesome thanks for the info can't wait to get it installed

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
 

Yes the tank has since changed from then. All tanks have a notch in the rear top of the tank that clears that crooked cross memeber. The tank will fit without any issues as long as it is mounted to the bottom of the frame rail.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Awesome! Thank you sir! cant wait to get it in and fire up the truck!

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Dont forget anyone who was not able to make the Group Buy we still offer a 10% discount on any order as long as you are a member of this forum.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

nice to see that these are still as popular as ever. Not many changes since my drawing either... Thanks for being a top notch vendor Dave... I still haven't mounted mine since my project is on hold!

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Dave I was wondering if you had a date on when the rest of the tanks would be ready to ship??

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Every tank has been finished for a few days. Supposedly there was a nationwide back order on Walbro pumps. we did not receive our order of pumps until Friday last week. They came without fuel socks so i have been on the phone all morning sourcing and overnight shipping what i can get. So if all goes well we should ship all remaining tanks by Wednesday. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Dave.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

tank just showed up this morning! thanks dave looks great.

I do have one question, there are instructions fro setting up the sending unit. i am guessing the they are not setup for this tank yet?

thanks dave

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Tank was on my doorstep when I got home from work. Looks great Dave. Thanks for the good deal!

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 :)

Anyone?????

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.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

cool!


thanks dave!

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Got mine as well yesterday, top notch craftsmanship!

The fitting on the top, is that for a vent line?

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

Anybody?? Getting ready to install the tank and NEED to know this.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
 

yes, that is the rollover vent
