The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Under bed gas tank installation 1950 3100

I am in the process of installing an under bed fuel tank in my 1950 3100 Chevy Truck. The tank came from the Truck Shop in Orange CA and produced my CounterParts. I was told that I would not need to move the rear brake line support. That turned out to not be true. Live and learn. So the bracket is removed and I will relocate it, not really a big deal.

Is there an installation for this gas tank somewhere on the internet?

But now I have other installing questions. My general question is can I drill the holes now, not having the bed in place? I am thinking no. It would have been nice if the brackets were slotted to allow some left to right positioning.

Next, I only need one port out of the tank to feed the fuel pump. There are two, why? There is also a port on the top of the tank. Is this for some sort of breather?

Any suggestion on setting up a breather?

Schematics welcome.
