Re: Project: Recycle

I'm still chipping away but lack pics for proof (broke my camera).

The blazer tank has the original fill line removed & a patch has been welded in place. A new 1.5" fill tube was placed toward the rear of the tank (centered). It's now welded in. I put the bed floor on & w/a 3" piece of Gates fuel line, it all lined up & worked like I hoped. I still need to figure out a ventilation system so the tank can vent during fill & breathe during use so it doesn't pull a vacuum. Thinking about setting up a charcoal canister (ala mid to late 70's GM vehicle) to 'filter' the air/fumes.

I also purchased & welded in the 'studs' for my rear bag hats. Now that that's done, the rear bags are bolted in place.

I received an e-mail confirmation from UPS so I should have some parts on Monday/next week. I'll update again soon after....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
