Default Time to keep the Eaton "Cool"....

...So I really felt it was time to make the change to a Chiseled Tank to help keep the Eaton nice & COOL!!...Plus the benefit & aid of ICE at the track... so I went with there 7.6 gallon tank & pump (33 gallons per minute) FYI: The old PFab tank held a little over a gallon of fluid...I used Stainless Steel 3/4" Braided line for the install, you'll need about 30 feet!

Pics: (Sorry that they are cell phone pics...)

Before



Lets get started....and completed










Final touches....and yes, I can still put items out back!!





...and to compare to the old PFab tank

I used 3.5" long Carriage bolts (3/8" dia.), pic ^^^^ above shows the bolts before I installed the tank ...I dropped the fuel tank and drilled them in! Take lots of measurements!

Tim I was reffering to those hose mounts, that mount your hose underneath the car in the 5th and 6th picture from the top.

....LOL, sorry about that!!! I used 4 - 1" Rubber Insulated Clamps ($1.50 each - yes, I used self tapping screws) & tie-straps on the rest along the fuel & brake lines...
