If you use that tank I would put at least two fuel pick ups in there, maybe more. APE in Texas sells them. But if it was me, I'd just use your Bronco tank. Is there a reason you can't?

the 'accumulator tank' would get me around having to have mulitple pickups...and I think be more reliable/flexible.
the bronco tank....well, the one I've been running lately is too small (20 gallons)...as the old big one has just been beaten to badly (too many holes to fix at this point).....and just generally-all-around hard to mount cleanly and have it look good.....and it too has issues of starving for fuel if it gets much under 1/3 tank....

build your own, or but that one and put some baffles or a huge ass sump in there

Funny I saw that same tank/storage

I wouldnt use it. When I had my normal fuel cell with no pickups I tired to make an accmulator. It didnt work out too good. Still ran out of fuel here and there. I ended up making my own cell and running the pickups.

so you're running the 'multiple pickups'....like the ones that holley (used?) to make.....w/ the wierd little check valves that will close when open to atmosphere??....
where'd you get them....I can't find them listed anywhere anymore...

change of subject off the fuel cell, but those beadlocks you have, are they recentered h1?

Hip · Jun 7, 2006

Berne maybe try a boat shop for the multiple pickups with check valves. like a bigger boat shop, tug boats and such. they have large and sometimes multiple fuel tanks with cross over systems.

even my 22 footer has a 60 gallon alum tank with front and rear pickups but i have never had it apart so i dont know about the internal pickup system.

or maybe airplane stuff?

this is all going down in my garage....
we've been building Hugh's new shop over the last month or so too.....concrete is coming next-next weekend.....then skin and doors on the front wall and electricity, and its full awn over there...

my garage is too small, but w/ some careful layout, can be amazingly functional......its really big enough to do everything I'm doing to this thing....except bend tube inside...

and, amber is bracket master.....she makes patterns out of Hamms and Highlife boxes......I cut them out w/ the torch, and she finishes/fits them...
she's getting pretty damned good at it...

So..... ya going to put some bitch seats in the bed of the M715 so your friends have someplace to ride? Kinda glad you went with that cab in the end, even if the Scout had some things going for it.

Edit: Is that Erik's old truck in the driveway?

Oh, and WTF is this??

THAT.....would be the pile of shitty bear in the corner, the Natty Ice, there's some Busch light, and out of view I believe there is some Milwaukee's Best Ice also....

thats the beer that other people bring over, then drink my beer in the fridge, and leave their's....thinking that was a 'fair trade'....

and for the seats.....well.....its gonna be tight back there....

so....I've come up with another solution....

retractable tug lines.......like water ski ropes, that self retract when not in use......and then some storage somewhere for some 'off-road skateboards'....

really shawn, trust me, it'll be sweet!!!

and ya, Erik's old bronco is now Melon's bronco....but it lives at my house......
and has 38's on it now...
