Need fuel tank photographs please.

[Lonesome715]

I did a stupid thing this past weekend. I forgot to look at how the tanks were installed on the deuces at the Hooch. So now I have to ask for photographs so I can make sure I get it installed correctly. I have had this tank off for a while and a couple of the lines were cut and crimped before I got it. I have since had the tank cleaned, rebuilt the fuel pump, replaced the sending unit and got some new webbing. As soon as the paint dries on the tank I am reassembling it and slinging this thing back under the truck. I need to see how everything is hooked up make sure I did not forget something. So, if you do not mind, please post some photographs of your fuel tanks and how all the lines hook up.

I posted a response last night but it looks like it did not take.

I cannot view the TMs. Every time I try to open one my computer locks up and I have to restart it.

 

[Lonesome715]

Any help at all hear would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to get this deuce running with a limitted time frame and limitted funds.

Just to get it on there should be easy. The fill hole is passenger side front. Center it on the hangers and wait for a picture from someone.

Tried to make a quick diagram, extracted from the TM... hope it helps.

Outstanding! Thanks. I want to know what a couple lines were crimped. This was a non running truck when I got it, but I see no reason to damage these lines.

 

[Lonesome715]

What is this capped off hole for? I took the plug out when I took the tank apart, but before i stick it back in I am wondering what purpose it serves.

That hole is for the arctic heater set up.........the heater kit supplies a fitting and a pick up tube that would go in there so it's fuel pump can pull fuel for it...............I know that cause I installed the arctic kit on my truck.

 

[Lonesome715]

Thanks. It looks like I will not be using that fitting then.

Here is a pic of my tank.

 

[Lonesome715]

Thanks, an actual photograph sure does make it easier. I was just bolting the fuel pump down now. Those new shiney fastners sure do look good.

 

[Lonesome715]

Just a thought, the breather line is so small. Is there any reason it would be a bad idea to use the fitting for the artic heater instead? That way I can use bigger tubing.

No reason to re engineer an anvil, deuce either.
Stock line works just fine.

 

[Lonesome715]

Because mine is damaged so bad, I have to make it longer to reach. Is there any reason I cannot use a rubber hose with hose clamps and a barbed fitting?

 

[Lonesome715]

By the way, I was referring to my stick breather line in its stock location. The tubing it cut and crimped close tot he frame.

Here are a few pictures for you.

Nice truck.

I notices some rust on my straps that bolt to the lower brackets. After blasting it away I have very little metal left to run a bolt through. It looks like I am going to have to weld some metal in now. I guess this is not going to be the quick turn around I hoped for.

Diesel is heavy. Be glad you found out now before you lost a tank on the road some place.
