Anybody have any pics of tanks that they have fabbed up. Specifically what tank filler did you use and what did you do for a vent, id like a spill proof vent.On top of that im interested in baffling the tank properly.
Im looking for ideas when i get back home to fabricate a new tank.. Right now i have a tank i made years ago that was mounted vertically in my dodge. For the chevy i changed the orientation to horizontal so i could mount it in front of my engine.. It holds about a gallon of fluid and i dont want to change that..Ive found with the way i ride its just enough to not need a cooler.
I dont have any feed issues to my pump either and dont want any.. My issues are that ive found now( possibly due to the baffling i put in the tank was designed around a vertical mount position:homer are lots of sloshing and causing the fluid to spill from the fill cap. I spend a lot more time in this truck off camber and leaks bother me.I also need to relocate the tank as the feed hose puts the hose too close to the PS pump pulley..The line is super short and sized right but as you can see in the pic its close.In the pic up above the tranny X member wasnt done so the pulley is tilted away from the fitting.
Right now im looking at fuel cell filler caps.
And using a roll over valve
I have room on my drivers inner fender to make a long skinny one gallon tank. I planned on welding a new an fitting on my pumps res housing pointing towards the tank and making the feed fitting at the lowest most forward and lowest point. Building the baffles in the tank to help keep oil at the outlet even in 70-80* angles and not puking from the filler nor the vent.
Has anybody fabricated a trap door system like road racing high end engine oil pans have?
Or am i overthinking this and build a simple tank.
