What all parts do I need to scrounge to put a large k5/Suburban poly tank in the back of my m1008?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
For a Suburban tank to fit, I think you need a longer frame, for starters. Not that I remember exactly how much longer a Suburban is behind the axle compared to a pickup, but about it's about four inches.What all parts do I need to scrounge to put a large k5/Suburban poly tank in the back of my m1008?
A K5 tank would be easier to fit, but as mentioned earlier, it sounds like you'll have to modify/swap a cross member or two. Other than that, I'd use factory hardware and sending unit.How about a blazer?
Can I get away with a poly Blazer tank, 20 some gallons?
Also, got a line on any of the parts I need?
I've done exactly this before. Instead of setting up drawing fuel from 2 tanks, I used the right side tank as a transfer tank to the left side. Added a second line and could pump to other vehicles (gensets) as well.I think the right and left fuel tank are the same tank. The brackets and everything are the same. I used them before. And if you don't want to cut your bed side for the fuel door Fill the right tank thru the rear wheel well opening. Could be dirty sometimes. But deal with it. It will save a lot of hacking and rust areas from cutting and welding. Just an idea.
wmi?Well, I have two saddle tanks. I need a tank for wmi.
Yes., except it's not intercooled, yet. Someday maybe.wmi?
Is this for the over the road load hauling dually with tires that are near impossible find with an intercooled motor?
It might be that it's being set up to tow a 5,000 gallon tanker trailer, filled with WMI.Is this for the over the road load hauling dually with tires that are near impossible find with an intercooled motor?
No need to be snarky.It might be that it's being set up to tow a 5,000 gallon tanker trailer, filled with WMI.
