Custom Gas Tank Questions (1 Viewer)

[hobiesbestfriend]

Project LandRunner is coming along great, Whole rear half of the body has been removed. Rear crossmember and spare tire mount, along with rear leafs and axle have all been removed. Currently in the process of cleaning and patching weak spots before I move on to rebuilding. My plan is build an roll-cage for the front compartment, combined with a rear endo-skeleton that ties directly in. My original plan was to reuse the stock gas tank and add another forlong trip/emergencies. Now I'm just gonna build one extra large custom tank. I know it will need to be baffled and I will be putting in 3 vents. Not sure why the stock one had 4 bit I'm gonna put one per section of tank between baffles. My question comes up, when I start to consider how to mount the fuel gauge sending unit and the unit on the end of the fuel line that enters the tank(screen filter maybe?) So any ideas? Aftermarket products?

Click on the link "External" under the "Fuel Pump" section and scroll down to "Fuel Pick-up" These devices used to be sold for $15, they raised their prices. Check Jegs and Summit to see what the Holley kit goes for these days.
