This is a picture of a stainless steel fuel tank bought off ebay ,estimated to hold 129 litres. It fits in behind the rear seats and should provide me with a good range. It had alot of caramelized sugar in it when i bought it which had to be cleaned out using acetone,also the fuel sender and fuel pickup pipe were rusted out so will need to be replaced.(forgot to say that it has internal baffles to stop the fuel sloshing around whilst cornering)
An update from my original plans as my original layout left no room for the battery. Now the battery sits neatly between twin Quicksilver 25ltr tanks .
Modifications that i have made to the tanks are as follows -- I drilled and tapped the filler caps to take a spiggot and tube attached to an external vent . I also fitted fuel tank senders that are wired to twin fuel gauges on the dashboard. Both tanks are fitted into a custom made wooden cradle and strapped down with webbing straps.
Fuel vent for both tanks is mounted externally in the splashwell .
3/16 " fuel line and primer bulb
