Fuel Tank Fun

[herb101]

OK - nearly done....

The new tank is in (fit perfectly now). I replaced all of the hoses for the fuel pickup, the filler vent, the two tank vents and the filler neck hose (horizontal and vertical). I also ditched all of the tower clamps and spring clamps in favor of new SS worm drive clamps.

Here is a picture of the newly installed neck. I did not bother with a wide shot, as it looks just like the original...


Here is a shot of the old stuff - kinda looks ready to replace, huh?


Here is a shot of the new goodies waiting to go in. All of this and a cheapy 2-1/2" tach ran about $65.

As for the "nearly" part...the tank is in and full, but there are a few more sections of rubber vent hose that are split and leak when full (near the rear bumper). I'll track those down and replace with my leftover hose. Sending unit works great too.

Thanks for letting me ramble on....

I'll get a couple shots of the final results tomorrow, as it's too dark now.
