Lateral-g Forums - Exhaust tube to make fuel filler tube???

Yup, that painting looks good.. I kinda figured you had a good plan worked out knowing some of your work. Now Im sure you do. Looks good from here.

Umm, yer brush strokes are a lil wild like old man Picasso. You still have both yer ears??? Stay away from sharp objects LOL Bet its gonna be a nice setup.

Oh, and I double strapped my rubber (silicon) tube mainly cause straps are cheap and I dont have a lip on my tube to capture the strap. Something to think about. Its not necessary for a rubber tube that isnt under fuel all the time, like one that connects to the bottom of the tank. But again, straps are inexpensive. And I used silicon because it doesnt ever get spongy like rubber can. Something to consider. JR

Thanks JR. I'm not sure if I've painted a clear picture though of what my plans are. None of the exhaust tube that I plan on welding will actually be welded directly to the tank itself. Here's what my plans are:
- I've welded in a filler panel from a camaro between the tails lights, so now it's like the camaro set up.
- I'm using the Ridetech filler cap and filler neck.
- On the inside of the trunk, I want to weld in a piece of exhaust tubing that will go from the inside of the trunk to under the car
- The ridetech filler neck will connect to exhaust tube with rubber hose
- The filler neck that is connected to the gas tank will connect to the exhaust tube under the car with rubber hose
- So basically I'm just using the exhaust tube in the middle to connect to the filler cap tube and the gas tank filler tube
- I only plan on welding the outside around the exhaust tube where it goes through the trunk floor and out the bottom of the car

Hope this paints a better picture of what I'm doing. I only plan on using maybe 12 to 18" of exhaust tube. As for any gas fumes.....I don't even have the tank yet to consider putting fuel in it.
