now THIS is a long lost post, lol

well after all this time i have finished my fuel cell for my bronco! i found an Anheiser-Busch pony keg and turned it into a fuel cell. i'm still not too good with the aluminum welding spool gun but i am gettin there. i turned it over on it's side and cut a hole in the top then welded the gas cap flange in. on the bottom i welded 2 lil nipples in for fuel lines. now i gotta build my roll cage (lol) so i can strap it to it. i'll get pictures when my batteries charge for my digi cam

Wow Fishy, sounds like a great idea but how are you gonna get home when an idiot like me decides to tap your gas tank and drink all your fuel?

well at that point i might feel bad for ya cause we all know (from experience ) that gas is horribly nasty!

of course as expensive as gas is i'd prolly cram the fuel line down your throat and suck that gas right back out!!

Yea, we always liked having him around for laughs just to see what he'd do next. Kind of like a monkey. I sure miss having him around, I think he ended up blowing himself up while welding on his gas tank.
