Hello,
I purchased a '67 that had come with a new CCOT Replica OE tank installed. However, the owner mentioned the filler neck would fill with fuel, and would require waiting for a few minutes between filling because fuel just stays in the filler neck, before gurgling down.
Why is this? I've included a picture of the CCOT tank, with notes showing what has been capped off, and where the 1/2" Hose connects to the filler neck tube to vent I imagine? It seems as if it is not venting properly, causing the filler neck to fill up, before the tank accepts the fuel.
Any help is greatly appreciated. New to Land Cruisers, and New to the Forum! I did search, and could not find anything that could help.
Truck: 1967 FJ40
Engine: 327 Small Block Chevy / 2-Barrel Carb
Fuel Tank: CCOT Replica OE Tank (Metal)
Issue: Tank has multiple connections, which appear to hook-up somewhere? However I believe most of them were for some OE components that went along with the OG 6-cylinder engine. Since I have a SBC, it doesn't appear to need all of the tubes connected? Currently almost all are capped off.
Only hoses connected are as follows: 1. Filler Neck 2. Vent Tube to Filler Neck 3. Main Fuel line to carb. All others 3 on top, one on the side are capped. However the tank seems to not vent properly, which stops fuel from going into the tank smooth. Causing me to have a 1/2 full tank.
2nd issue: The fuel sender appears to be the unit provided from CCOT. When trying to read OHMS it seems to put out 12.2? Couldn't find this OHM reading anywhere, which points to what a OE Early or Later Model sender would read too? Dash has the OE early 67 gauge, which isn't hooked up. How can I get this CCOT tank to read out to a fuel gauge of some sorts?
Thanks for all of the help! Sorry if this is a total noob question!
