tired... Dropped the tank today.. that was fun with 20+ gals of diesel in it since i couldnt get the hose to snake down into the tank through the filler hose...



did drain it while it was on the ground though... made for easier putting it back...





found me a ford part number under caked on mudd...



oooo pcv tool...



Pipe pieced... Harpooned the tank...



trash can full of diesel....



yup fun...



trash that was floating in the diesel... didnt want it going back in the tank when i just cleaned other trash out... least now it wont plug the screen...



funnel wasnt long enough... used some left over 1" hose i had from my CCV mod...

Sounds like it was a busy day Shawn. Worst tank I had to pull on a vehicle was a 110 gallon diesel tank off of a school bus. The drain plug was leaking. Had a slight drip every few seconds. HAd to pull the tank right after they had filled the bus. Draining 110 gallons of diesel fuel is not fun.
