After a reecent inspection of the fuel tank on my 72 Jeep comando, I realized a new tank is needed imediatly. After some shoping around I found stock replacements, poly replacements, and some heavy duty replacements, none of which i felt like were a good deal. So i have decided to build my own.
Requirements:
Skid plate botom, sturdy enouph to support the weight of the vehicle, extra fuel capacity (25-30 gal would be great), can't effect departure angle. I currently run an in line holley pump, but am considering an in tank? I like the servicability of the inline, but from what I have seen the in tank pumps offer a better service life. Oppinions?
Abilities:
I am a compotent welder with both mig and tig, and I have access to both welders and plasma cutter, an iron worker, and a break.
Questions:
What materials? What general shape, most importantly for the sump? What postioning for the fuel pick up?
Any ideas or advice would be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance!
