That looks more or less right. I'd put the seat in before drilling any holes though.
A friend and I both have Aqualu tubs. On his and mine, the "side" mounting tab on the gas tank cover does not quite make contact with the bottom of the door seam, but the front and back tabs do make contact with the body.

Did you all put something under the tank - between the tank and the tub? A pad or rubber sheet or something? I have some thin rubber sheets, like the thickness of the cardboard backing of a notepad, that I was thinking of using...
I did put rubber stripes as you described under mine.
I used three or four thin strips of rubber, too. I think the guy on the Aqualu dvd recommended doing that.

Ok...finally getting around to plumbing in the NEW (brand new Toyota!) gas tank.
1. I would LOVE to see some pics of how folks ran the fuel lines to the tank... particularly the 2 that come up through the floor in the center of the tub.
2. Also the charcoal canister line that runs from the top of the separator... where does it go out of the tub?
3. And finally how did you hang the separator near the gas filler?
Thanks,
Mark

On stock trucks the canister line goes out the bottom of the tub under the separator near the door post. The line follows the rocker up to the engine compartment where the canister is located IIRC. My FJ40's are located over 30 miles away or I'd go shot a pic or two for you.

Do you have all o the necessary stock covers that cover the tank and evaporate system? I will be changing tub and will be going to a 79 up style an will be removing all of these this week.
I'm 35 min from my truck, wish I could snap you some pics.
I do know that that steel line comes through that hole, runs along the body by the frame rail and then come up by the wing that sticks of the firewall.

If you buy some extra gas line, you can route the canister line through the same hole your fuel lines go through. That way, you won't have to drill any new holes in your Aqualu tub.
I was just looking at your first picture again. Does your tub have an "indented" section that your fuel tank fits into? If not, you might have a '79 and later tub. If you click on my build thread (below), you'll see what I mean -- look at pictures 8 and 20 in the thread.

Yes, it has the indent... it is a 78 style tub. Thanks for the info... right now the truck is without a charcoal canister so I'll be adding one back in AND running lines for it. Thanks for the info and pics.
