finish up on fabing my tank today. going to be using two 1/4 I.D hose x 1/8 male thread on my tank project,but before i solder weld one into place i wanted to cut both down little. making it just little easyer to install the hose and take it off. i really don't need them that long:doah:
one side of the tank i solder welded a hex nipple 1/8 thread, so i could thread a 1/8 tee junction for my shut off valve and too connect the other side of the tank that will have the 1/4 I.D hose x 1/8 male thread solder to the inside tank. i drilled the holes a good inch or so above from the bottom of the tank. there is not alot of fuel area along the bottom of the tank and also i will be using a tank sealer that will probable fill in some of that area too. so i don't want to run into any problems by having the fuel lines to low and as of right now it looks like the tank could hold a easy gallon of gas....:thumbsup
road trip..
) i will be checking how much it can hold after the tank is sealed and good and dryed out.
(please note the tank is up side down):updown:
here is other mock up picture of the fuel lines hookup. i also solder welded a small piece of steel tubing in the rear part of the tank, so the fuel line would stay tuck under the tank and then drop down to the carb.
the only thing that i wanted to be hanging below the tank was the shut off valve cap...:thumbsup:
here is other mock up picture of the fuel line running under the frame to the other side of the tank.
briggs motor in the pictures is for just mockup, i will be using 5hp briggs for this project when it is done.........:thumbsup:
