Doing some future planning here ....
Looking at building a fuel tank for my 40 out of 1/8" aluminum. The plan is not move the rear axle back and put the tank under the floorboard behind the two frame crossmembers (between the xfer and rear axle). It will be fairly flat and wide with a steel plate under it to protect it from whatever. Gonna tig it all together and put baffles in the tank as well. Gonna run an Autometer sending unit so the tank will need to be at least 5 inches deep.
I don't much car for the under-seat tanks and since I lowered the passenger seat I cain't put one there anyway.
Eventually I'll go with fuel injection. Do I just need a return line for the EFI? Anything else I need to consider for this project.
Thanks, Mike
