you got anymore pic of that tank. just want to see which port you used for a breather?

DLOE65 · 10-17-2012, 05:15 AM

i used the one right next to the fill for the breather.

McMurphy · 10-17-2012, 07:39 PM

have you run your tank to pump fuel lines yet?
If so, what did you use?
I am not sure what to use; I just know that I dont really want to string 3 or 4 tubes along to make one that is good length for the task.

zippeay · 10-18-2012, 11:57 AM

Very cool build! What gas filler door did you use? I just got my tank in on tues and I need to figure out where to put the gas door at. I'm probably putting it in the bed floor. Looking good though!

Sick5 · 10-18-2012, 12:50 PM

do you have strap under that tank and if not you should...
i just ran to a problem today i got a hair line crack were the bolt hole is at.
im thinking its from the weight of the gas pushing down on it.
are those tank aluminum or metal?

DLOE65 · 10-18-2012, 01:30 PM

Mcmurphy - I used 2 3/8" hard lines with a union fitting, then a small piece of soft line from the framerail to the pump, and fron the tank to framerail.

Zipp- I got my filler at West Marine, it will be under the bedfloor when you drop the tailgate.

Sick - no straps, maybe I will add one, you have the same tank?

Thanks, I may have to do the same thing. I am guessing they are the 70" lines from the parts store? I am going to need to do a return line too on mine, both the fuel pump and the tank sending unit are set up for it.

DLOE65 · 10-18-2012, 02:34 PM

Yeah got then at O'Reilly's

DLOE65 · 10-20-2012, 01:21 AM

Also got my mufflers relocated and pipes all in... sounds awesome!

**DURG** · 10-20-2012, 09:04 AM

Having that raised bed floor gives you all kinds of room under there for stuff like the exhaust. Truck is looking great!

dbomb53 · 10-20-2012, 08:53 PM

Very nice, can't wait to see it in Nov.
