Fuel Tank Almost Finished

I am so proud of my new fuel tank. I have decided to keep it my office so that I can admire it every day.

There is still some work to do on the fuel fittings.That black stuff is truck bed liner. Am not sure that it will work out. So I have to order a new fuel fill fitting then finish working on the space it goes into and install it.
Then I am back in business.

Working on the new fuel tank

I am having Paul Baker of Snowdrift Designs make my new fuel tank.
Here he is cutting the parts of the tank with a plasma cutter.

This is Paul welding the tank together.

Unfortunately we didn't have time to finish the tank. Hopefully next week I will have some pictures of the finished project.

Making some real progress, just kidding.

Have been working away with my reciprocating saw and multicrafter tool. As you can see it is real refined work.

Getting the pan out from under the engine is a bit of a chore. There is a battery cable clipped to its underside. There is also some other wiring that I am trying to avoid. At least I have removed the non functioning  float switch and figured out the triple bilge pump system.

Next trip down I will come better prepared to wallow in the bilge. I will finish removing the oil pan and rewire the bilge pump and clean things up in preparation for the installation of the yet to be built fuel tank.
