Here's the installation of the new aluminum fuel tank. The previous design used a plastic fuel tank that needed modification to move the fill tube and other mods. Apparently, alot of problems with sealing the plastic tank. The aluminum tank mounts with flanges on each side.
Here's the tank.
The fuel sender was straight forward. Followed the directions to shorten the arm and set the depth. There is an offset in the bolt pattern so only one way to install the sender.
I mounted the tank directly to the angle brackets on the frame. Used 10 each 5/16" bolts with locking nuts. All grade 8. With 5 bolts each side, shouldn't be a problem. If anyone sees an issue with hard mounting the tank, please let me know. Hurricane recommended that the tank be hard mounted and also provided the tank straps if anyone wanted to use them.
Here's how it is bolted to the frame on the passenger side.
And the driver side.
The new tank has two -8 AN male connections welded one to the top front corner and one to the bottom front corner. You can use it with an electric fuel pump for EFI with the bottom one used for supply and the top for return. I chose to use a mechanical fuel pump and only using the bottom connection. Capped the top one. Hurricane provided 1/2" aluminum tubing for the fuel line.
Also, there is a 1/4" NPT boss welded at the top for a vent. Hurricane supplied a hose and vent with roll over valve for that.
The tank had internal baffles you could see in the fuel sender hole.
The aluminum fuel tank is a nice improvement.
