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

Yes the tank has since changed from then. All tanks have a notch in the rear top of the tank that clears that crooked cross memeber. The tank will fit without any issues as long as it is mounted to the bottom of the frame rail.

Awesome! Thank you sir! cant wait to get it in and fire up the truck!

nice to see that these are still as popular as ever. Not many changes since my drawing either... Thanks for being a top notch vendor Dave... I still haven't mounted mine since my project is on hold!

Dave I was wondering if you had a date on when the rest of the tanks would be ready to ship??

Every tank has been finished for a few days. Supposedly there was a nationwide back order on Walbro pumps. we did not receive our order of pumps until Friday last week. They came without fuel socks so i have been on the phone all morning sourcing and overnight shipping what i can get. So if all goes well we should ship all remaining tanks by Wednesday. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Dave.

bmfpeterson · 03-21-2011, 02:31 PM

tank just showed up this morning! thanks dave looks great.

I do have one question, there are instructions fro setting up the sending unit. i am guessing the they are not setup for this tank yet?

thanks dave

silver7 · 03-22-2011, 08:51 PM

Tank was on my doorstep when I got home from work. Looks great Dave. Thanks for the good deal!

AZ66GMC · 03-22-2011, 09:55 PM

Just got the tank from UPS! Looks awesome Dave! Can't wait to get it installed. I would like to confirm that the sending unit is setup or not. I don't want to take it apart if I don't need to

Yes all senders should be set correctly. all you need to do is run your wires.

Got mine as well yesterday, top notch craftsmanship!

The fitting on the top, is that for a vent line?

hi ,what kind of price for a fuel tank for a 1970 chevy c10,i'm looking for one that fills in the license plate area,if that make sense also one that would use a 1987 up sender so i can run an electric fuel pump for fuel injection. thanks jason shippimg to mn 55330

**Daveboyd** · 05-10-2011, 01:05 PM

We now have the Aeromotive Stealth in tank pump availible for all EFI Systems. it looks like a 30% increase in fuel flow. and uses the same wiring and socks as the Walbro.

Tim R · 05-11-2011, 01:13 AM

Boyd could I get a price for a non efi tank with sending unit shipped to 77705 and how long do you think it will take to get one made ?

Thanks Tim

Humm, will the new pump be an "upgrade" or now standard. I am about ready to install mine and assume the standard one will be enough I would have gotten this one but it wasnt available at the time. Seems like we talked about any options.
That is good to always be improving.
