Way cool, Dude! I like it.

Too bad you didn't finish it earlier so I could have used that idea like I have so many others of yours.

The last of the build eh? Surely, you want to modify something else! It is looking real good Tim. Can't wait to see it finished.

Tim,

Nice to see you! The tank looks fantastic.

When you leak test it, use gasoline instead of water. Gas must have a much smaller molecular structure or less surface tension or some other deep scientific properties that are beyond my understanding as it is able to weep out of a hole that water won't.

I can't wait to see what it looks like in the truck

as usual, nice work
Bobby

It has been a while since I have viewed your gallery Tim, and I,m blown away with all the "improvements" your making. It sounds like you are going strong, and I look forward to seeing your Awesome truck in person.

If someone doesn't do a magazine feature on your truck they are out of their minds.

Thumbs up

Looks GREAT!!! How much does it hold? Did you make it out of mild steel? If you'll look at my gallery my truck originally had dual fills too. The tank ended up leaking and I got mad and took it out and went with a fuel cell for now. I'm considering goin kind of like you did later on?


Good work!!

Nice tank. Looks like about 40 gallons? The rolled edge makes it. Jag
