Got the new tank float and installed it. When I pressure tested the tank, it was leaking along the seal as the hdpe wasn't smooth after I reformed it.
So I just did another one from scratch and like most things, the second time works better than the first.
It seals up well.
I also fabbed up the filler tube from 2" stainless, and welded in the filler part from the metro.
The tank fills from inside the trunk, which is good and bad.
The stock midget filled below the trunk, that is really very low to the ground, my stock Falcon filled behind the license plate under the trunk, and I found that to be very inconvient. I'm going to have to seal the trunk area from the filler area when I finish fabbing the trunk lid. Been very time consuming this tank effort, but it does save a lot of weight and is a much better setup,
and having removed the stock tank, it was not in good shape, rusted, etc.
Here is the stock metro (modified) fill level sensor compared to the new one
and it installed into the tank cover with the fuel pump (modified to reach the bottom of the tank)
Preliminary fill tube setup, I'm working on finishing up the tank and lines completely and vent. Oh you might notice I added the frame structure to support the upper third control arm for the rear end, and raised the driveshaft tube crossover as the whole drivetrain has been moved vertically about 4 inches.
