There's a tank liner that can be poured in there and sloshed around to coat the inside to prevent rust...

Loving the build it yourself (DIY) fuel cell. That's awesome!

That was pretty slick and you made it look so easy, but I'm guessing you've done that more than once ;-) All that being said, the best part was the "pop-up Henry bobble-head" in the window! Great addition to the ol' 49 ;-D

I have not found Rustoleum paint to be resistant to Gasoline. The paint delaminated around the filler from overfilling or spilling on last gas tank I painted with Rustoleum.

How's this gas tank been working out for you? Has anyone expressed any concerns about gravity feeding? I want to do the same tank for my Suzuki Samurai but wasn't sure if it's ok to feed fuel out the bottom...

BAD idea

I want to make a fuel tank for my club car with a predator engine. Would this need a fuel pump, or would the carburetor pull the fuel without a pump? I don't know much about these things, but I'm trying to learn 😅

@FarmAlarm

Жыл бұрын

A carb won't pull. Needs to be gravity fed, of low pressure fuel pump. A vacuum pulse fuel pump would do well on that setup

Im missing something you put the gas tank in the bed of the truck?

Well you'll have to go back and watch the *first drive* video, it explains it there. But the factory tank was pretty nasty. So I built a temporary fuel tank

Great idea, I assume the cap is vented?

Definitely a bad idea to drain out the bottom. It's actually illegal for a car manufacturer or commercial vehicle. Make a feed line that drops in from like a bulkhead fitting or something. Then an aluminum tubing with a flared fitting on one end.

It could had been cheaper to get a air tank from an scrap yard.

I'm not gonna spend a $100 on a fuel cell (aluminum that won't rust)from summit racing but I have a couple Thousand dollars worth of tools including a plasma cutter. Laughable 😏
