Fuel tank sizing and mounting

Disagree or agree with having dads shop do it?

 

Np, i guessed it was a typo, but wasnt 100 % sure


Anyway, anyone else got any thoughts? Dont like the pete tank mount setup, freightliners look rock solid though.

 

Its entirely underslung and the t bolts are somewhat undersized, so they tend to break thats actually what i like about the kenworth setup, the brackets actually support the weight from underneath.

The freightliner setup has a massive bolt and somewhat overbuilt strap, and the brackets support from the side and partially cradle the tank

 

Okay, getting ready to fully tear down the fuel lines and replace all

I would LIKE TO get stainless braided line with the screw in fittings so i can cut to length myself here and carry some extra

Anyone have any recomendations on specific hose and fittings?

 

Went with 2x each side, stock peices from the arrow truck parts for now. (Mfgr says 2 is good to 135 gallon tanks, so probably rated at 500 lb a peice (135×7.1 ÷ 2 = 479))

Dads shop is too far behind to be able to get it done soon enough. But have it drawn up and can probably do that in spring or fall

 

Fair enough, by then i hope to have things mostly torn apart, reassembly probably next week yet, appreciate it
