Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank

Dave..

I know your deal doesn't include a sending unit but I think it would be better if you had an exact unit to recommend to the buyer, or included one for the additional cost. The 67-72 take a 90 ohm but I think 66 and older take a different style. (30 ohm?)

This would make sure that they purchased one that fits your flange perfectly, the one I purchased from JC Whitney was slightly off from your flange, the holes were.

Thank you! I was actually thinking it would be nice if you offered the sending unit, fuel lines, a few different fill hose options etc as an add on to your tanks. It would be alot easier for those of us who don't know exactly what pieces to buy to pull the trigger.

Dave will customize you tank but you need to let him know what you want and he'll get back with you... Overall i'm happy with my tank that he built, very clean welds and sturdy... his QC is a little better now I think since mine had a lot of metal shavings that needed cleaned out, but that's an easy fix with a screwdriver and some Vaseline..

Thanks for bringing that up mike... Yes as mike said every tank can be customized to fit your specific needs, however i would prefer not to change the dimensions too much on the overall tank size. If that is a must please call me to discuss your options.

Our Quality Control processes have evolved a ton since then. I have added another inspection into our fabrication process which addresses metal shavings in the tank and metal shavings around the openings. We have also began to practice and adopt ISO Quality Standards.

i would like to supply the senders or at-least give information on the correct ones for your applications. truth is i have no idea what you require either. The only senders i am familiar with are 0-90 ohm and 30-240 ohm

heres a jc whitney SunPro 33-240 ohm adjustable universal sender
http://www.jcwhitney.com/jcwhitney/p...questid=200348

heres a 0-90 ohm sender from e-guages
http://www.egauges.com/vdo_indS.asp?...90ohms&PN=SN38

both of those senders will fit my flange. also you can always have the sender drop shipped to me and ill install for free.

as for the sunpro sender. every one that i have ever installed or bought has fit perfect. My sending unit flange's bolt pattern only goes one way. all aftermarket senders with a 5 bolt pattern will fit it this flange as it is a US Standard pattern.


I will attempt to do a video here in the next couple days on installing a sender.
