Ever since cutting and welding my original tank it had a rust problem. Ultra fine rust particles were constantly being sucked through the lines blocking the fuel sock and despite 3 in-line filters, clogging the jets and giving me the shits.
I know I could have just got a kit and treated it but I kept getting conflicting opinions on whether or not that works. Checked out the Fuel Safe option and they couldn't modify the bladder for rhd applications so the only bullet proof solution was to make one. Started by profiling the tank bulkhead and then folding some sheet to suit. Tank will have internal baffling, swirl sump for future efi conversion and a roll over valve for venting. Also doing an expansion tank that will mount on the front side of the bulkhead. Not sure what the exact capacity will be but I reckon it'll be around 60 litres Here are some progress pictures, all thoughts and comments welcome. Phil Attached image(s)
