[DML] Re: Soliciting Suggestions For Fuel Tank Mod

["darryl" <darryl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I built BLWNAWY I made a stainless steel cap for the tank opening, with a thin stainless band welded around it that just slipped over the opening.  I welded in a single straight pickup tube that ended where the bottom of the stock pump would have been.  Around the neck of the tank I used several Vitrol (?) o-rings that are impervious to fuel as a seal, slipped the cap over them, and secured with one of those super heavy duty s/s clamps.  Since I also didn't need a fuel accumulator, an electric low-pressure pump was installed inside the frame in its place.  After some 10 years of use it is still working great with no leaks.
