Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Next I got busy fixing and modifying my Blazer tank. Two things have been bugging me about it for a while: an inaccurate fuel gauge and a sloooooow fill at the pump. For the gauge issue, I ended up using a stinkin' F*rd part 'cause it was available locally and has to be better than the split barrel float that was NOT floating in there before.

To help remedy the slow fill, I lopped off the tiny filler neck that comes on the poly tank and bolted on a 2" angled unit I got from Tanks, Inc. This also solves the filler neck being hidden behind the bed mount issue Also added a 1/2" vent nipple replacing the 3/8 that came on it. Hopefully this thing will fill on full blast at the pump now. Heck, I'd be happy with the first 'click'...
