Don't tempt him.


How many gallons is this one, and are you gonna find out the usual way by running out of gas on the interstate?

[Willy Mammoth]

As soon as I can lay my hands on a gear cutting machine.

We caculated it will hold 22-23 gallons. I think hooking up the gauge will be a good idea too.

Time to get back at it.

Yeah, if we make it past the Disney exit this time we'll know we're doing much better then the last tank.

  well we don't smoke, so there is a no smoking rule regardless, but if you mean because of the tank why? It's no different then the other tank he made other then it's larger.
Hopefully we'll be able to test drive it by the end of the day or Tues.

       I don't know if he has a vent, the thing always CLUNKS, when it is expanding, but it has a filler neck.
He didn't post pics yet? It's painted and in

[Willy Mammoth]

It don't need a pressure vent, diesel dont build pressure like gas.

It does have a spring loaded valve in the cap that lets air in as the fuel is being used.

[Lady Di]

dang our yard looks green!

[Willy Mammoth]

It is installed and has fuel in it, but the gauge turns uot to be no good now that I finaly hooked it up.

[unclejpl4x4]

Ya but what about  the fuel return from the injetors?   U runing it back 2 the tank  or back into the fuel filter.

The weeds really grow good when is rains every day huh?

There is very little return from the injectors so I thought Mrs W could just hold a cup to catch it while I drive.

Look at the pic showing the drop, there is two fittings. 1 for the feed and one for the return.

so  its  about twice the size of the old one

[Willy Mammoth]

Right at 23 gallons. The other one was maybe 14 gallons. So yea, 9 gallons bigger.

guess the big thing will be to see how far we can get on the interstate before running out of fuel this time

[unclejpl4x4]

where was the old one mounted ? in the same spot?

How ever far an extra 9 gallons will take us. 

[Willy Mammoth]

Yup, but after extending the body there was more room for more tank. I just never got to it till now.

I liked it better when we ran out of fuel on the way to ONF, there were horsey's across the road. I was about ready to go over and say Hi.

[unclejpl4x4]

[79coyotefrg]

[Lady Di]

wonder why

don't look at me! I'm the one that says "we should top off" and SOMEONE else is the one that says "oh nooooooo    I looked in the tank, there was still HALF AN INCH we'll be FINE!" 

15 miles later.... WHAT THE??? <-- MrW  MWM -->
