Inside appearance of fuel tank

[Larry B]

The following pictures are for information only. For those like me until ten days ago had not seen the inside of a fuel tank. The wall tickness is 100 thou. The pick up tube on this tank lays flat on the bottom with 3/16" holes drilled in. The red stuff on cardboard is the old tank liner that was plugging everything up. The bottom of tank must have been exposed to moisture and was only 20 thou thick in places so I changed bottom. Hope the pictures help others.

Your tank must be quite different from the vertical tanks in the old GM machines like 4106s. Ive heard the pickup in those tanks will not even pickup the last 20gallons of fuel but yours looks like it will get the last few gallons.

Wow !!!

And I thought there was a huge stack of one hundred dollar bills at the bottom


I know I put them in there

Great pictures!

You were careful to not add material in a way that the tank is any larger in dimensions that when you started...?

Hope it's already back in.

happy coaching!

Yes the tank is back in. There was not much room to spare. That's the test run that gave me my overheat issues. But the engine did run a lot better on full fuel lines.
