Junk yard find
Went to the pick and pull today and got an aftermarket 31 gal gas tank for $35 with sending unit, straps and skid plate. This one is apparently produced by a local company here in Chico. I was going to do something like this and try for 40 gal but I sure can't for this price.

Here is a pick of the front of the stock tank on my shelf to compare the position of the sending unit. http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...n/IMG_0478.jpg There are a couple of problems with it, no big deal though. They punched a hole in the bottom to drain it but since it is heavy steel it is easily welded. Also looks like it needs a new o ring for the sending unit. Fill neck is a little short too, no big deal. |
Thats an awesome find.
|
not gonna lie im pretty jealous
|
wow 31 gal i just hate you hahaha
|
