Well after a few weeks of evenings after work and a few lost weekends...... Just a few tacks and sides..
Lucky these welds are in the inside...
Grind off and fins some holes...
Must learn to let go of the torch and stop getting it all too hot...
I have my moments...
The state of the floor afer grinding, and cutting...
Whoops that bit is supposed to be on the inside..
Like that..
sender Reinforcing plate witha section cut out so it can fit through the hole from the outside in..
Made a sleeve with a groove ot fit a nitrile O-ring that the filler neck can push in and seal.
Trying to get the position of thsi correct was a task..
Eventually got there..
Baffle...
Front baffle with slot cut to allow sender float to travel..
Baffle welded in..
Fuel pick ip pipe..
Drain plug..
Now it's test for leaks time..
After a couple of days of pressurising and finding leaks then releasing the pressure to weld up the holes the test again was getting a but tiring. Eventually got to hold 8-10 psi without blowing bubbles..
A but of clean up and paint..
Here is the tank it replaced..
And in!! 89 litres, 19.6 gallons, 23.5 U.S. Gallons. Not far off I beleive!!
