Let me know what you would use a homemade fuel tank for! *20 Grinding Disc* - amzn.to/2JZ8sNN *1949 Chevy Pickup t-shirt* - teespring.com/classic-1949-pickup-shirt

[@paulbrooks2024]

Used the same tank for my I H tractor.

[@FarmAlarm]

@@paulbrooks2024 that's awesome. Thanks for letting me know!

[@Ecosse57]

i've been thinking of something like this for a t-bucket project and this video was an inspiration, thanks! oh, and that wee face popping up just made my day.

[@FarmAlarm]

@@Ecosse57 thanks for the great feedback 😀👍🏻

[@mrmotofy]

There's a tank liner that can be poured in there and sloshed around to coat the inside to prevent rust...

[@troysgarage]

Loving the build it yourself (DIY) fuel cell. That's awesome!

[@timothynewkirk2654]

Nice tip! Plus I dig your side-kick! ...Newk from Kentucky

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks Newk!

[@andrewsapp856]

Nice video! Thinking about doing this and putting some off road diesel in it for my truck box

[@wendy833]

Great idea. Tyfs.

[@catherineharris4746]

Outstanding!👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

[@Zarealy]

Flap disks are super handy. I have one angle grinder that has one on all the time. I'll have to check out that brand you recommend. Thanks and good job!

[@FarmAlarm]

Hey thanks Luke. Having more than One grinder is super handy. I get pretty annoyed switching back and forth between different dics on the same grinder!

[@HomesteadByBigfoot]

Nice work, Homemade and cheaper, win-win.

[@FarmAlarm]

Hey thanks John

[@daviddove4851]

that good idea clever way to save money truck look so good you done good job to get it back on the rood is there much to do look forward to your next video

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks mate. Hope you are good David!

[@rusty1850]

Thank You for Your Video.

[@FarmAlarm]

You're welcome. Thanks again

[@truejoy3779]

That was pretty slick and you made it look so easy, but I'm guessing you've done that more than once ;-) All that being said, the best part was the "pop-up Henry bobble-head" in the window! Great addition to the ol' 49 ;-D

[@FarmAlarm]

I really enjoy fabrication. And that little Pop-up Henry is my *fabricator apprentice* lol

[@jesuscamarillo-reyes]

So cool wish I had a gas gage

[@ourselfreliantlife]

Sweet modification! Just make your own fuel tank.🙌

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks! 👍

[@vinceschaeffer]

sweet project and sponsor sticker 👊

[@FarmAlarm]

Lol thanks

[@vallisoileau8979]

Impressive! Take my sub 👍🏻

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks!

[@803mastiff9]

I have not found Rustoleum paint to be resistant to Gasoline. The paint delaminated around the filler from overfilling or spilling on last gas tank I painted with Rustoleum.

[@Crane_pond_Chronicles]

As a shafer I approve

[@vinceschaeffer]

same here cousin 👊

[@tammysarrazin7078]

i hope you cleaned out the fuel cell after the grinding and plasma the last thing you need is bits of metal in it but great video and great job hugssssssss from Ontario Canada

[@FarmAlarm]

I sure did clean it out Tammy. Thanks for looking out for me though! 😀😀😀

[@bettyclaggett2011]

That is a cute video!!!

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks Betty 😀

[@bettyclaggett2011]

Your welcome Fam Alarm!!

[@jamessimones2987]

No return line, I’m assuming your timing a splitter in the fuel rail

[@FarmAlarm]

It's carbureted, no need for a return line.

[@patstillriding1435]

I think this is a great idea! The only problem I can see is it is a steel tank. I have concerns about it rusting inside. What are your plans if that happen?

[@FarmAlarm]

It's been two years, so far, so good 👍🏼

[@stormgsi911]

if it rusts and starts to leak just make another one for that price

[@TarylWalker]

How's this gas tank been working out for you? Has anyone expressed any concerns about gravity feeding? I want to do the same tank for my Suzuki Samurai but wasn't sure if it's ok to feed fuel out the bottom...

[@mrmotofy]

BAD idea

[@dwaynekendall]

Hi Henry!

[@FarmAlarm]

🖐🖐😀

[@LandonHarris343]

I want to make a fuel tank for my club car with a predator engine. Would this need a fuel pump, or would the carburetor pull the fuel without a pump? I don't know much about these things, but I'm trying to learn 😅

[@FarmAlarm]

A carb won't pull. Needs to be gravity fed, of low pressure fuel pump. A vacuum pulse fuel pump would do well on that setup

[@shitbox7413]

Great idea, I assume the cap is vented?

[@FarmAlarm]

Yes the cap is vented. Came off of an old kabota skid loader tank.

[@shitbox7413]

Perfect, no need to add a vent to the tank. 👍🏻

[@zarb88]

Im missing something you put the gas tank in the bed of the truck?

[@FarmAlarm]

Well you'll have to go back and watch the *first drive* video, it explains it there. But the factory tank was pretty nasty. So I built a temporary fuel tank

[@curierfromxibalba1155]

how you deal with gasoline pressure gases?

[@FarmAlarm]

Vented fill cap

[@guillermodelatorre8]

Can I use a truck gas tank for diesel?

[@FarmAlarm]

The tank doesn't care what fuel you put in it...

[@cabbyhubby]

How many gallons does it hold?

[@FarmAlarm]

11 gallons

[@BennyDIY-eu6wj]

like😉😉😉

[@mrmotofy]

Definitely a bad idea to drain out the bottom. It's actually illegal for a car manufacturer or commercial vehicle. Make a feed line that drops in from like a bulkhead fitting or something. Then an aluminum tubing with a flared fitting on one end.

[@antoniomagana2380]

Como respira

[@rufusleers]

And if someone doesn't own a plasma cutter?

[@FarmAlarm]

-Torch. -grinder with cutoff blade. -drill several holes in a circle. Plenty of ways..

[@chetsands1609]

They $60 now. Stupid inflation…

[@LandonHarris343]

I noticed when I went looking for one, I just ended up buying a 7 gallon air tank from fb market for $20

[@ovalwingnut]

Outstanding job... well documented. However the words "Fuel Cell" have lost all meaning.. Thumbs up however. Cheers!

[@dxrflyboy]

I'm assuming that gas cap is vented...

[@FarmAlarm]

Your assumption is correct

[@ToolinAround]

@@FarmAlarm haw many gallons does that tank hold?

[@sergioramses2615]

It could had been cheaper to get a air tank from an scrap yard.

[@54321snoopyman]

U all just shaved me 80 bucks

[@cobyporschifer221]

I'm not gonna spend a $100 on a fuel cell (aluminum that won't rust)from summit racing but I have a couple Thousand dollars worth of tools including a plasma cutter. Laughable 😏

[@mrmotofy]

Spend your money wisely LOL

[@wildwillscustomsexhaustvid9677]

Did you have to put a fuel pressure regulator on since it's gravity fed. Or can the mechanical fuel pump handle gravity fed?

[@FarmAlarm]

Mechanical pump handled it fine

[@wildwillscustomsexhaustvid9677]

Awesome, thanks
