Finally Starting To Reassemble The 1965 Ford Mustang (HUGE MILESTONE)

Cut a tray for the fuel cell and drop it down. Gives you more trunk room, lowers the center of gravity and you could also use the stock fuel filler.

Check the gas tank manufacturer design, but usually the ports on the bottom side of the tank go towards the rear so you don’t get fuel pump starvation under heavy acceleration.

[@crannyscustoms]

Beat me to it lol

[@redman715]

This is true

[@rhamlay8806]

He should put it on the roof so that the fuel easily goes down to the engine.

[@yarkie1]

I was going to say this. Plus. One of those is the feed and one is a drain. The return will go into the top and usually had a spout inside that brings the fuel to the bottom of the tank to stop splashing and aeration.

[@crannyscustoms]

The sump

[@TraceZ28]

Center of Gravity - lower that fuel tank! 20 gallons of gas weighs 120Lbs. Even the factory placed the tank below the trunk floor. Also the sump faces the back of the car as others have mentioned.

[@voldemarsaugspuls5795]

[@starkyslp16]

Why not drop the fuel tank more? Can still use all the work you just did, but cut a hole in the new sheet metal and maybe add bracing. Run lines under, could use stock filler cap which looks cool, adds trunk space, and lowers center of gravity.

[@jarsky]

The way to do that, would have been to raise that middle piece rather than recess it, and use some angled steel to make a cradle underneath. Really that requires a fuel pick up though so he'd need to make modification to the tank to sit that low Personally I would have gone that route and done a dual fuel pump hanger with 2 intank fuel pumps, and moved the return and vent to the hat and cut off and welded up all the AN fittings. It would eliminate the need to run an external pump/surge tank as well.

[@samclonce]

Stock filter cap is for show only🤬 this project failed

[@ranig2848]

Very cool. I'd mount gas tank lower since: 1. Ensure that fuel pump doesn't get "flooded" due to gas tank seating higher than fuel inlet (which is fairly low in the back) 2. Lower center of gravity 3. More space n the trunk - you can actually place a plate on TOP of the tank and then have much more space there. But it's your car and design so enjoy it 🙂

[@PopllFixit]

... And you can use the factory filler

[@aaronuuu]

I think a stock gas tank would’ve fit better for more room in the trunk

[@michaelhembree6347]

No doubt.

[@rayadams5926]

Have some room for spare tire and jack and its actually cheaper than the fuel cell he bought.

[@danfrederick3172]

Look at the dust on that fuel tank. I bet somebody gave it to him or he bought it used. And I don’t think they come with the standoffs like that to bolt it down. So he’s probably into it for less money than a reproduction tank. I hope he puts the pick up towards the back like it’s supposed to be though

[@jaymusa7500]

Would look neat

[@adaml.8300]

Ben, I think the fuel cell should be oriented with the feed lines towards the rear. When you’re accelerating with a low tank, the fuel will pool into the rear which is where you want your pickup. Just a thought,

[@danfrederick3172]

My thought exactly. He doesn’t know any better

[@SNELLERIZED]

Don't run fuel lines inside the car!!! Still not thinking things through before he just sends it.

[@halidaymichael2899]

Agree with the lowering of the tank like every other comment - you don’t want weight high and rearwards. Also, I like using steel to fill the gap between the back seat and trunk, and parcel tray - I like the fuel cell completely separated so if it catches fire, you’ve got more time before it enters the passenger space.

[@standavis7266]

That part on the bottom of the tank is the sump. It goes to the rear of the car not the front. It is designed to sticks thru the floor for the fuel lines so they are outside the car. Personally I would lower that cell down and use the stock filler cap. Having it on top of the floor raises the center of gravity. Cut a hole in the floor and raise the tabs on the cell so it only sticks out about half way into the trunk. Otherwise loving the content. Keep up the great work.

[@VasilyBuilds]

I think the automatic is a good call! I wouldn't be worried about the fuel cell height as Ben probably won't be competing in any races.

[@Sev_Auk]

It's always a sad day when a manual transmission gets the boot :(

[@iknklst]

Won't be turning any corners too quickly either with that much fuel weight located that high in the vehicle. Mustangs before the independent rear suspension models are notorious for having the rear end come out from under you at low speed turns while applying power, far less power than this car will have. Mounting the tank that high will only exacerbate that problem with a weight shift that high above and to the rear of the center of gravity occurring in the middle of a turn.

Sorry somehow this comment became a rant.

[@Andrew-J316]

I am not an expert by any means, but I think that fuel tank should be lower. Usually gas tanks, EV batteries and the like are lower for center of gravity, protection, safety, etc.

[@davevan8864]

I put that exact same fuel tank in my 46 Ford street rod. I mounted it with the pick up sump at the BACK of the car. This gives you more room for filters and pumps. I also made tank supports from thick wall tube so tank sits level in car and I did not have to cut into the perfect 70+ year old trunk floor. BTW....you need a mask when painting......when your north of 60 like me....you will wich you did. THX

[@sharkpuptrex]

I agree with others, lower the fuel tank. Much cleaner build. But hey, it's your vision. Just an opinion.

[@georgeburns5811]

Leaving the fuel cell in the trunk will create more problems than you can imagine. If you don't have clearance to mount the fuel cell below the trunk floor, cut the floor and leave about 1 to 2 inches of the fuel cell above the floor. It is best to keep the fuel cell below the floor, otherwise in an accident you have the danger of a ruptured fuel cell releasing gas into the interior of the car. This was a flaw in the original design of this vehicle and other Ford cars of this era (look up the law suites). I have owned a 1966 Mustang since 1966 in case you might wonder if I have any experience with this car.

[@josephbrown9665]

That drop on the tank goes to the rear of the car and you have to cut a slot on both sides and make a little drop down for the lines to go under the car too the front of your car. The top lines need a different pump for you to use them. Put it in place and mark each side of the sump and cut a line as long as the sump then make up sides for it and weld them up . This will leave you with your sump in your trunk and you can get to your fittings and run the lines under your car.

[@justatim8143]

I would have gone with an OEM style gas tank for fuel injection so it would sit lower and wider and able to use OEM fuel filler port.

[@HighwayBull]

Is your car painted and rust proofed underneath as well? I'm just curious bro, some people tend to forget that..... other than that you're doing an awesome job.😉👍

[@NTromb]

[@Shadowband72]

Defiantly recess the tank , if it was just sitting on the trunk floor the top of your tank would be level with the filler opening , it kinda needs to be down hill for the fuel to be able to run into the tank .

[@manqkasgarage6215]

I’m not sure do you have an idea about how noisy the fuel system in the car is? The pumps will be making some noise and the fuel going thru filters and hoses makes noise to. Lower the tank in the trunk,from then use that to get the fuel components under the car. With that you got quieter and safer fuel system. Lower centre of gravity at the back and may even use the stock fuller neck.

As sophisticated as these new transmissions are these days, I say go with the automatic, use a GT500 shift dial, an aftermarket controller and install paddle shifters! As far as the fuel cell goes, listen to all the other comments about where the outlet goes. Also, I would drop it down to where the top is flush with the floor of the trunk. That way, you can still use the stock filler. By the way, I’ve loved every one of your builds! You have crazy talent, and keep ‘em coming!

Ben there's a drop in fuel pump assembly for fuel cells. You have a 12 bolt fuel filler and you just take out the one you have and bolt the fuel pump assembly in , it has a filler hole on it so you could use the original spot to fill or put a cool filler on the rear piller and put cool cap.The 2 I love are one from a Viper and the other is from an Audi TT.Your cell is in backwards. Vents and return need to be towards the front of the car. I have a fuel cell in my 70 Mach 1 mustang and went through what you are! I would mark a hole in the plate, cut it and lower the cell half in trunk and half under the car. Weight balance will be better. And you gain room in the trunk! I lowered mine and it's just above the rear pan so yo can't see it! I hope this helps

[@theupscriber65]

Looking great! Just another alternative for the trunk floor. The top of the tank forms the trunk floor so if you want to retain that look you could cut the bottom of the tank away and just use the top of it as the trunk floor. But yours looks great with not a lot of extra time or money.

[@robjupin6457]

turn the fuel cell around where the lower part faces towards the rear. this allows your pump not to lose prime when your hard accelerating. any car builder will tell you that.

[@TonyDFreestyle96]

Good job with the car brother.. suggestion.. cut a hole in the trunk floor so the sump in the tank protrudes through the floor and definatly run the fuel lines under the car. NOT through the interior.. If you want to be fancy you can get a piece of exhaust tubing and run the lines through them when you go up over the axle. That whould be NHRA spec.. also with having the fuel cell in the trunk you may want to concider a piece of aluminum between the back of the passenger seat and the trunk compartment.. that is also NHRA spec.. its a good idea to follow these guidelines because we all have learned over the years what works as far as safety goes... have a kill switch for the pump somewhere you can access from the cockpit also. Hollar at me if you need any further information or advise.. PS.. the sump in the tank faces rearward so you dont starve the pump..

[@iambrucer]

Should’ve thought this fuel system through more. I decided to go with a stock efi tank. All together didn’t cost more than 400$.

[@rodpasichnyk9140]

10:58,To get that filler hole to line up, yes you will have to lower the tank!

[@Dusty392009]

Cut a hole in the trunk with sheet metal straps like a beefy OEM strap but no matter which way you end up mounting that tank it’s metal on metal so make sure you use rubber spacers between the mounts and metal or it will rattle like crazy ask anyone with a flat bed truck with a mounted fuel tank on it lol. Great build so far your viewers as well as you want this thing right for you so don’t slack on mounting the fuel cell right for time it’ll be worth it in the end to mount it right and under the trunk! Keep digging brother!

[@Peripheral-Visionary]

leave room for the tank sump area in the trunk floor so you can run the fuel lines below.

What about the filler, shouldn't it be pointing down. Really think you should have lowered the tank more.

That part with the 2 fittings on the tanks bottom goes to the rear of the car because under acceleration the gas will be forced to the rear of your tank!

[@YTAlnyc]

Install the gas tank lower. A lower center of gravity will make the car handle better. Having use of the trunk space is a nice bonus. Do it like the original to make it look best. Also, you should geta bead roller. Notic panels from car makers are not flat. The beads are there for strength and rigidity without adding extra weight.

[@chevypu35]

bottom outlets are designed to go in rear for fuel on accelleration. that design is from drag racing . you used to be able to buy a sump to weld to stock tanks that had an fittings for fuel lines to help prevent fuel starvation on drag cars

Coat the threads of the coil overs with Anti Seize and the power rack mounts so it can be serviced later.

[@timbeckerling5744]

If you cut a small section out of the trunk floor for the tank to sit flush, those fuel outlets will be situated nicely underneath the body, facing the rear. It’ll be a neat solution to run the lines and use the inertia under acceleration to counter any fuel starvation issues you might have with a close to empty tank.

That front end is TIGHT! all puns intended, looking great. I know it would suck to cut into what you did, but going to have to for fuel lines and not sure what pump you are using so look into how it wants to be positioned. Personally like the submerged pumps because the fuel helps cool it and keep it quiet, but that also has its drawbacks. Might be able to do a returnless fuel system depending on the setup from here and could cap the second vent with 1 less line to run. Please cut the firewall for the steering and brake master before you paint or body work. Doing such a nice job and would suck to go much further without it done having dust over everything. I know seat position may need to be looked into but it all works together or its a statue. Automatics are fine, some could use a shift kit or upgraded clutchpacks but depends alot on the torque converter or the rear axle ratio. That's the only reason they have a bad rap.

Hi Ben, as you wont be racing this car, wouldn't it be nicer to use the original fuel filler location and lower the tank to allow for that. Keeping centre of gravity as low as possible? Locating the filler to another place means another hole or mod. Using the original filler will be a wise move I think. Auto is cool as well as the build, awesome.

[@Finnegan6674]

I would cut the hole to get it flt the tank flat. Then I would measure to see if I could cut hole in the side of the fuel cell to use the original fill location and run a piece of pipe to connect the 2 locations. Wouldn't know if it is possible until the cell is in its final place. Also you have the tank backwards. Feed lines towards the rear because that is where the fuel goes when moving forward. You will have fuel starvation in the direction.

[@randymackintosh6559]

Lower that fuel cell as low as possible for weight and trunk space...the way it is typically done is to build a small box/cage out of square or angle iron that the cell/box fits into and the top of the cell is maybe either flush with the floor or up an inch or two....
