I decided to work on my fuel cell today since it will probably take a week to get it back from a shop.
Hacked the filler tube down so I can connect my line to it and run it to the inside.
Here is the hose I will be using which needs to be cut down and angled yet. I'm just holding the fuel cell in to let you guys get an idea of what it will look like.
I modified the NX stock fuel pump/sender unit so it fits in the fuel cell. It was almost the same diameter (bit larger) as the hole where the filler neck bolted to the fuel cell. I just used a dremel to trim it so it would fit in the hole and make the extra slots for the bolts.
Here is the factory fuel pump bracket that goes down with in the tank. I will be mounting it in the bottom of the fuel cell to hold the pump in place. You will need to extend your hoses and wiring so the pump will fit the new depth.
Also your fuel gauge will be off unless you modify your floater to be more exact. Now I called JB weld today and asked them if using JB-Weld would work for mounting the plastic piece inside the aluminum tank. They said JB-Weld will hold the plastic to the aluminum and gas will not eat away at it either. So at the moment I will probably do it that way unless I come up with a different idea.
I'm dropping it off at a shop tomorrow to weld on a new filler neck as well as a inlet which will be my vent line. They will also hack off and weld shut the fill, return (with line going down in the tank) & roller over vent fittings that came on the fuel cell.
My Forge pulley kit arrived today.
