Attaching the Gas Tank





Getting the gas tank on became more of a problem than we initially thought. First we cleaned out the fuel sending pipe unit. We had some wire and a rag, soaked it with brake cleaner and pulled it through a few times. Once we were satisfied we went to the back of the car. The came the mistakes...
I wasn't paying enough attention to where I should cut the hole, so I cut it out in the wrong spot. I will have to fix this and that is just more time, which doesn't make me too happy. Then we went under the car and found that the spot where the gas tank straps bolt in is not there. It seems way back in the beginning I probably cut off the brace, which means I will have to make another piece and this will take even more time.
