Howdy, I am finishing up installing a 31 gallon, between the frame rails, rear mount fuel tank in my '69 Panel. I have run into some "issues" that I feel should be mentioned.
1. Be absolutely certain that you have, or can easily make, the necessary space from the mounting seam UP! You did get a tank that will fit between the frame rails, didn't you?
2. Be absolutely certain that you can get the fill tube on the body to line up with the one on the tank! Check the muffler section of the auto parts store for any necessary adapters. Don't forget the vent line!
3. Be absolutely certain that the sender is properly prewired to hook into your wiring and the fuel line is run in metal!
4. Be absolutely certain that the exhaust isn't to close to the tank!
I know that these all seem self evident, but some bits of one or the other kept me busy for longer than I want to admit!
Forewarned is forearmed! Whatever.
best wishes,
Les
