I know this is overkill but I really don't want to ever have to drop the tank when it has fuel in it.
One of the benefits of the blue tape is I can write notes right on the tank.
Talk about a tight fit.
I needed to open these up just a little bit so I could slide them in place.
So this is how I tightened them back up. Anyone do this a different way as I would love to know if there is a better way.
I put tape on the straps temporarily and once the tank is in for the final time I will install the rubber strips.
Had to call the wife out to help me put the tank in for the first time. Once the straps are bent I can easily remove and install the tank by myself.
Tank is in and it looks so much better.
I had to shorten the lines just a little bit and I was even smart enough to lay the wiring on the top of the tank. This will allow me to terminate the wire at the sending unit and the fuel pump. I will also need to run ground wire which I forgot to install.
I quickly installed the tailpipes just to see how much of a difference the new tank would make.
