Air intrusion

Those fittings I showed from Grainger are $20 each and the 8 FT hose was ~$75. Thats a good chunk of $$$. A hydraulic shop might be less, and they can make up the hose to exact length.

Just a thought on fueling, you'd have to wait for tanks to equalize and keep checking the level.

You're right about waiting for the tanks too equalize......kinda like an old Mack [emoji13]

they say it was a Bronco tank, but it came out of a 89 F350 with a 460.
I even deleted the fuel pump and extended the pick up. I had a dead spot for the first few fill ups, but it works great now.

I had to make 2" spacers to drop the shield down to install correctly.

That sounds very appealing.......

The install is on my 6 door thread if ya care to take a gander.
I'm Mobile right now so you'll have to search
"87 crew cab w/ 6 doors"

I found your thread, that's a sweet build !

Damn good looking truck, I'd love to have a large tank like that.....one day soon.
This engine/turbo project is consuming my spare time for now.
(There isn't much of it either).
I'm leaning toward replacing the FTSV for now.....but still debating

hopefully it will be painted here pretty soon!
did you see the links for the tanks?

 

[93blklightning]

Thanks !

This type of bulkhead fitting will allow you to use cheaper 5/8 fuel hose rather than hydraulic hose.
