All these fuel tanks need something to hold them in place.
Today's job, get fuel tank straps ready for powder coating, these are for 427 cars.

Looking great.

For your powder coating, I have a "Group Buy" from the company Jet-Hot. If you're interested let me know.

Thanks
I will keep the coating option in mind.
I have a very good working relationship with the two companies I use local for powder coating.
Cheers

Keep in mind that the tank Craig made for me is a 289 tank, behind the seat and not under the rear.

The cut outs are for me to get around the extra frame support with the units PU and filler neck.
Gives dead space above once full up. I'll post on the 289 link when I get started :o

Hi,

I’m looking to replace my CSX 4000 series gas tank.

Looking to go without a fuel cell as I don’t track the car.
Could you send me some info on options, prices, and time frames for your tanks?


Thanks in advance,
Jon Trimble

Craig is your man!
My 289 tank perfect and the 42 gallon 427 tank I bought a work of art.
I recommend highly

Thanks Jeff.

Here we have a fuel tank just finished for a 289 street car.

Working on a fuel tank for one of my favorite cars, Jeff's red Hi Tech, ( soon to have a colour change) for the most part we are using the same shape of the old tank from the car.
We have added a little volume and some bead rolls to the bottom of the tank along the lines of the large original tank.

We folded the front and rear sides, add the baffles then the top panel.
We are using the fill and pickups from the old tank as well as the fuel level sending unit, this way it should go back together with out issues.
Well that's the plan.:)

1985 CCX 04-11-2024 03:47 PM

Look forward to installing it into HTM111.

Needs rock protection!
 
Hi,
Looks great. On my previous cobra I had an aluminum tank made and ran it less than a year then a rock hit it at 65 MPH and cracked the weld, aluminum is brittle. What a pain to drip gas all the way home. Then nobody would fix/ weld it as it had gas in it. So eventually a shop filled the tank with argon and welded it for me. I installed second skin on the forward side of tank:mad
Now my F5 cobra has the mustang tank and shield!

I look forward to installing in HTM111, will be a great addition and will serve as a great improvement in appearance/performance.
