This F*CKING fuel tank thing is GONNA KILL ME!!!!
It is absolutely F*CKING ridiculous how lawyers, insurance companies and law suits have totally F*CKED UP this once great company...
TRUE STORY...
I called to get some dimension and info on an aftermarket tank that is specific to a particular vehicle. Dude on the phone WOULD NOT answer ANY of the questions I had re. this tank because of the fact that I said it was for a custom application...why..."for insurance reasons we can not suggest or encourage its use for any other application accept for its intended model or design."

NO FU*KING WAY!?!?!?!?!
I cant even get an idea if the F*CKING TANK is position specific?????

The down fall of American society!!!!!

Truly a shame!

I wouldn't blame the lawyers 100% they wouldn't be in business without greed. And people who want something for nothing.

I try.

Take good notes on you tank build, some of the rest of us might be interested in duplicating it. I'd even sign a liability waiver.

 

[CruisinFJ60]

you gotta tig to put that tank together? I personally wouldnt wanna mig one, too many pinholes could pop up easily IMOP. plus TIG would be bling looking.

Nope...MIG is what I got, MIG is what Ill use.
you go over it enough, youll fix the leaks. I WILL be pressure testing it probably numerous times as well.

I've looked at a lot of older "home made" style oversized gas tanks that were used for years and years and at best they were mig'ed.

I say mig that bitch.

I was thinking it would be a good excuse for him to buy a TIG set-up.

Can always count on you to spend my $ for me!

 

[spressomon]

No s***! I've been wanting to learn TIG.

Come on Keith: JUST DO IT...take one for the team. You KNOW you want one

 

[waiting for time]

Keith you'll love TIG, even I can make welds that look decent and are whithout leaks. I just got myself a nice present that might be interesting for you when you make your own tank. This can make all kinds of profiles and rims in sheet metal. And this, a shrinker expander for bends in profiled sheet.

TIG...

 

[waiting for time]

TIG...

Looking realy nice, it does take some time to get it to look like that.

 

[chicago]

Okay....Ill DO IT!
All you guyz have to do is give me the money and well get this ball rollin!!! It shouldnt be THAT much divided among all of you. Ill even chip in a couple hundred for the "cause"! That's just the kind of guy I am!

My dad was a welder and machinist by trade. He used TIG almost exclusively. He was and still is GREAT at it. I had ran a few beads with his set up several years back when I got into this game.
I DO peruse CL for a set up from time to time, but...its a REALLY EXPENSIVE set up and its also a constant cost for consumables as well...toungston rod for the tips, gas bottles, filler rods, torch cups...Miller has a nice little self contained unit out now, and that is 1800 bucks.

Bottom line...NOT HAPPENING!

Right now at least!

Somehowe I knew you where going to say that.

Have you got a plan for the tank yet?

Yap! Basic cube 25 x 20. X 8/9 (depending on the sending unit). Sump, baffles, pick up, return, vent, drain plug and a capacity just over 17 gal. I think I have it figured that I'll be able to use the stock filler assy. Will be supporter by 4 bolts similar to that of a shock where the bolt will go through a bracket, mounted off the upper, rear shock mount and the wrap bar x member. Gonna do a mock up out of cardboard this weekend and see if I'm missing anything. Probably gonna use a heavier ga. Steel for welding purposes to minimize burn through.

Sound like a plan??
