Time has come to do something about my fuel system. I finally got the TBI problem solved, but the tank is so rusted it plugs the fuel filter in about 10 minutes of running time.
Possible solutions include
seal the tank - cheap, about $35 for alcohol proof sealant. I can use the tank I have that fits well where it's at and it well protected. It is also already modified for a stock GM in tank fuel pump. But, it is in the way of the roll cage I am building. It will require fabrication around the tank for the side bar and the seat mounts. I'm not all together convinced sealer will be a complete solution.
replace with a fuel cell in the back. $160 from summit. Does not take a sending unit or a in tank pump. Another $100 for an external pump. More money for -8AN fittings. takes up room in the back. Safer and cooler.
Relacement tank - same benifits and roll cage problems as option one. Steel will have to be modified, poly would have to have an external pump. Not any cheaper than a cell.
This is for an 80% trail rig.
Any opinions?
