Fuel Tank

Finished off the tank and got a friend to weld it up for us. Bought a sender unit from eBay.... where else :) £30. We got really lucky as the sender unit was a bit too long for the tank but because of the bottom sump bit we put on we managed to fit it in. To screw the sender on we used rivnuts and drilled the holes a bit bigger but only just so the rivnuts would sit flush on the top of the tank and the rubber of the sender would seal up nicely. We filled it with fuel slightly to wash the crud out and to make sure it flowed ok and it worked perfectly. We strapped it on using a strip of jubilee clip style stuff and put some rubber strip underneath to keep it off the chassis. Then connected the pipes going to the pump and the return from the engine.
