Re: Fuel Tank Fun

Just wanted to add some additional info in relation to the tank I bought. Again, to make this particular tank fit I cut the neck off the old tank and used a piece of 1 3/8" fuel hose to attach my old neck to the short fitting on the new tank.

The box from my tank says Fuel Tank Kit and gives the following number: 69-9310-BKIT. The manufacture info was torn off of the box.

I got it from www.bowtiebits.com for $250 and it comes with the tank, the straps, a sending unit, new sending unit seal and lock ring. It did not include the rubbber strips that go between the tank and the straps.

Here are a couple pics of the old tank and the new tank









Here are a couple pics to show how I used the old tank's filler neck. About a 4" piece of hose goes from the new tanks existing filler neck and attaches to the bent piece that I cut off my old tank, then it connects to the long piece that will go up the side of the Blazer.
