I finished up the gas tank today. I am kinda shocked to say that if my math is correct that I have about a 2 1/2 gallon tank.
I started to weld up the bottom of the tank and stopped. I figured I have friends who are great welders and for safety reasons it would be better to let them weld it, fire at 175 mph probably isn't fun and I do not want to find out.
I will finish up the mounting brackets for the tank this week. I haven't decided how I am going to mount the tank yet, but I will figure it out later.
I am also going to order my filler neck, petcock and vent bungs this week so I can everything welded at all at once.
All in all I am happy with the tank as it is going to work well in the small space and it is out of the way. The tank being under the back bone will also allow me to get my whole body much closer to the back bone rather than the traditional gas tank like I had before.
