If you came expecting tech, think again
Trying to rethink/redo some shit on my wheeling rig so i can at least drive it again, starting with the fuel system.
What I currently have:
I think I want to ditch the unknown tank. I found a cheapo aluminum fuel cell on Amazon like the picture, but it doesn't have mounting tabs, and the reviews talk about welds failing. A friend is an excellent Al tig welder, is it worth rolling the dice, on something like this? Trying to mount it against the front wall of the bed, likely with a steel toolbox behind it to protect it.
Is there some fool proof fantastic option that I'm not aware of?
Trying to rethink/redo some shit on my wheeling rig so i can at least drive it again, starting with the fuel system.
What I currently have:
- 1991 Ranger, carb'd 351w, when I did the engine swap, I used a bypass regulator to regulate from the in tank pump down to 4 psi.
- The shitty New England frame has been patched and the last time I added a bunch of bracing that keeps me from running the stock tank. Also added shit at the back of the frame in anticipation of a rear winch, so B2 tank in the back is a no go.
- Bought a aluminum tank that allegedly was in a boat, mounted it in the bed, built a filler neck, mounted a Carter P4070 electric pump in the bed next the the fuel tank, and adapted to the factory lines.
