    hey guys

    need to get a usable tank ready to drive the ford untill i can figure a better tank out

    i had planed on using this big square s-10 gas tank but it has no provesions for a fuel outlet on the bottom of the tank.
    not even a drain plug, just the big mess of **** ontop for an electric fuel pump. wich i realy do not want to use

    any thoughts on making a new hole?? welding sounds like a very much bad idea on a gas tank.

    so do i drill a hole in it and jb weld a correctly sized nut to the tank or what?????for right now this tanks all i realy got, ina couple months ill have some more cash an buy a differnet tank but for now......?

    dispreate for ideas

  2. for a temopary fix use it. You can hook up your manual or electric-on frame] pump to the existing fuel line. its the largest of the two] the smaller[return] line may be plugged and your "new" pump will pump fuel thru the electric one in tank just fine. Do make sure there is a vent tube on the tank so it can breathe. you can always replace it later as cash allows.......
