Fuel Tank Modifications

I made a sheet metal box out of 18 gage steel. It was made out of a flat sheet, then folded and MIG welded together.


Side view of box with hole shown for a drain plug


Front side of box shown with some holes drilled in it to allow fuel to get inside


I cut a hole in the top of the tank for the Camaro fuel pump module to go into.


A rectangular hole was cut on the bottom for the box to fit into.


This shows how the module will sit inside the box


The box is welded into the tank. Tig would be better but I only have a MIG


Ground Clearance is still good





I have good access incase, I need to service the pump.
This picture also shows the flanges I bought from Vetteworks to mount the module to my tank.


I welded the stock pickup area closed



Before paint. Notice the offset shackles I made work fine with the stock tank.



Black paint and inside is coated with Red Kote to seal up any possible leaks.
