Now to trash this un-sightly ground hugging behemoth.
This is tank is only a few years old.
I'll remove the low bulkhead fitting, braided hose, in line filter, fuel sender and might even cut out the metal around tank that the sending unit attaches too.
Kirby in Colorado said he'll be glad to do it. I'm just a little too busy to do it
:
Actually, I'm just roughing it in to check fit.
The fuel cell is not 100% but once done I want the tank install to go smooth. Of course that's easier said then done.
First thing is the shock bracket on top left hand side of hole has to go.
One less shock mount and fabbing up some supports.
From this to...
To this. Just temporary now.
Just when I thought I could not change the looks of this truck, this mod came along. But it's far from just looks. It really does enhance the capabilities better and maybe the wheel base pushed even further Hmm.
But that will be down the road further, no pun intended.
I've been researching an optimum length, and it's not there yet IMO.
Hard to believe there is a tank tucked in there that is even larger then the stock tank.
Still have got a lot to do on the tank before it goes in there permanently.
And once installed, it will be a breeze to work on the fuel sending unit, inside filter and to even clean the inside of tank. That alone made all the hours and hours worth it.
Plus it kept me of the couch ha ha. And by DIY, the price of that new Atlas just became cheaper in a twisted kind of way. Need to fined out when it will be ready for shipping?
