Ryan,
What make you decide to put the tank in the front. I thought in the middle was the preferred location. I know you will need front weight but having a bigger area ballast would take care of it. |

Correction,my factory tank has two baffles that I couldn't see because it was dirty.Doesn't have a bathtub though.
Aka,my tank is made out of stainless and is only three feet wide so I installed a tub with no baffles.I could see how a factory tank would need it though. Ill get some pics up later. |

Very cool! WE WANT PICS!
How close does the fuel pickup pipe get to the bottom of the tank? I remember looking at mine thinking it was pretty close. Maybe an 1/8" of an inch? What material did you use? It looks like stainless but I have seen some shinny aluminum and couldn't tell from the pics. Can't wait to see the engine start to go in! I would love to take on a V-Drive conversion after seeing that first one on the2001.com. very cool stuff. |

I wonder why my tank doesn't have any baffles?Anyways I got my tank done but my camera was dead so no picks.It came to 32 gallons which is five more than factory.I found a universal sender with the same resistance so I didn't have to rig the factory.
Btw,I put baffles in every tank I build not to combat slosh but to keep the fuel on the pickup in hard turns.Slosh is not much of a issue in the car world and I would suspect even less in a boat. |

Just to let you know my stock '85 SN's gas tank has baffles. I had it out to fix the cracked filler neck while cleaning and drying it, I noticed two sets of baffels in there. |

I also think you need to baffle the gas tank, it's not that big a deal and you wont loose anything by doing so.
Do it right, do it once. |

Huh, I never thought about it like that. I put a 330 Excalibur engine in my rebuild and had to change out the fuel sender with one that had an inlet on it to return the fuel since I was switching to fuel injected but I never thought about air getting in the line because there are no baffles in the tank. I have never had an issue though.
I was thinking more about the fuel fluid moving from side to side. Seems like 25 gallons of gas moving around would have some effect and since your cell is so high in the nose it would affect it even more. Maybe not. |

Carb engines don't have baffles because the carb holds enough fuel to function with a little air in the line but fuel injected boats circulate returning unused fuel and can drag/trap air in the rail. I would assume a injected boat has baffles. |

Ryan,
I have been following your progress. It is looking pretty good! Did you put any baffles in the fuel cell? I have never seen the inside of mine and didn't know if the factory did that. Keep it up. Your moving fast! |

Sure they do! I had a 2002 GMC 1/2 ton that had discs in the rear. Just bought a 2009 and it has drums... just like my '78 and '90. Return to the future. As I understand it the problem was the parking brake. It is a self energizing unit and the drag would wear it out. Don't know why they didn't go with the parking brake integrated into the caliper like the Aurora. Must be cost. |
