Thrasher Camaro, Part VI - 1969 Chevy Camaro Restoration Completed
|
Based on my previous experiences, I wanted the Thrasher to have a fuel tank that could be filled like a stocker yet with pickup and return fuel fittings for the fuel injection, including a fuel pickup box that would use up the very last drop. To pull this off, I chose a new reproduction tank from D&R, cut off the stock filler neck, and welded on a mid-'80s sealed cap end. To install the fuel pickup box, a hole was cut in the top of the tank to access the inside. To accomplish this, I procured a fuel access panel from Fuel Safe and cut the hole in the stock tank. All this took a ton of time and wasn't easy, but I wanted a stock tank that would act like a fuel cell. Of course, you should only do welding on a new tank. Never modify a used tank since the fuel fumes could easily explode when exposed to flame or spark. View Related Article
