    Aliens have taken over my wiring 6.9 lighting issues

    fuel tank replacement Do I need some rub relief?

    Thanks for that info. One difference that brought up the question is that the rear tank I took out was supported by the seam in the steel. The new poly tank sits right on the skid plate. Could be time for some wood to support it and snug it down, Mark
