It will depend on the changes. I will still offer a discounted price.

If there are any changes to the structure of the tank then no the group buy price will not apply. I will give a discount while this is running though give me a call on Monday and ill see what we can work out.

I have never worked with Porterbuilt parts. That question is probably better answered by Porterbuilt or someone who has their parts.

I just placed my order Dave! Thanks for this offer

I requested a 0-30 ohm sender if it's available, if not I will use the 0-90 and resister.

Thanks again!

^^^^ YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME! I want mine! lol

FL71C10 · 03-10-2011, 09:44 PM

Dave,

I got my tank today. Looks great, and faster turnaround than I expected. I do have a couple of dumb questions, though. The sender has a center pole, and one off to the side. Is the center one the positive? Also, I have two empy threaded holes, one in the top, and one in the lower front. The lower front is the fuel supply line to the motor and the empty one on top is for a return line if I need one?

So, what material should the threaded adapter be, brass, steel, etc? Anything I shouldn't use?

Thanks again.

Mieser3 · 03-10-2011, 10:17 PM

Looks great! Mine's supposed to be delivered Monday......can't wait.

slammed68<> · 03-10-2011, 10:27 PM

Can't wait to get mine either , looks like a great tank waiting to get that tracking info.

You are right. The 3/8 on the top is a return if needed and the 3/8 on the pass front bottom is your fuel draw.

the center pole is the positive and i always though that pole off to the side was for a ground. Actually that is for a Low Fuel Warning light so that would be neat to have.

bgood70 · 03-11-2011, 11:18 AM

Received my tank yesterday and what a professional team Dave has. The turnaround after ordering was great, the packing was super and support is timely. After leaving a voice mail for Dave, I got a call right back. Great Job to Dave and his team - I have no doubt this was the right choice.

How many people use the return, does it HAVE to be used?

Most carb applications do not need a return unless you are using a high flow pump that is regulated down. Some applications have a return at the regulator or the fuel pump. If you don't use the return fitting. use a Brass Plug that you can buy at any hardware store or home depot/lowes.

**Daveboyd** · 03-14-2011, 10:34 AM

:UPDATE:
Almost all are finished and being packaged as we speak. Our vendor was not prepared for the bump in volume of roll over vents needed so there is a little lead time. I expect most tanks to ship by the middle of the week.

PLANETGETLOW · 03-14-2011, 10:35 AM

Thanks for the update!!

slammed68<> · 03-14-2011, 10:38 AM

Awesome thanks for the info can't wait to get it installed

bmfpeterson · 03-14-2011, 11:48 AM

Thanks for the update!

Hey I was reading the first few pages of this thread and noticed one guy had a problem with your tank fitting in his 71 with trailing arms. the cross member that is in from the factory at an angle is in the way, he sent his back and had you modify it to fit.....

Has the design been changed since then to accommodate? I have the same suspension setup.
