Fuel Tanks Installed

[Melbo]

We had some nice weather today so I installed the fuel tanks. I took them out and epoxy coated the outsides and replaced the sending units. I hard
piped all the openings to the edge of the tanks so I can finish the fuel line plumbing with the proper fuel line. The first tank took a while to get
in but once it was in I knew what to do and the second one went in with about a fourth of the time. Once I get this finished up it is on to the 455
and see what we have there.

Good going! While you are at it, I would suggest re-routing ther fuel lines on the OUTSIDE of the frame. I fought vapor lock issues for ten years
until I did this (and added a cartridge fuel filter and a Carter 4070 fuel pump, also on the outside of the frame)
