You could weld some tabs, personally I prefer the straps over the top of the tank, too. The fittings go to the rear so they will pick up fuel under acceleration. Actually, the pic you have on this thread is more of a circle track tank then a drag car tank. The drag car and street car tank has a sump on the bottom and two fittings for the supply line if large volumes of fuel are needed. Your tank has one supply line with a sump in the right rear corner of the tank, and a vent line. Best to also put a rollover line in the vent, too. Also, might want to use some rubber between the straps and the tank to prevent the straps from digging into the tank.

Another question ,If you look at the tank on the summit page,is that the back or the front?Doesn't the fuel sump go to the furthest back,and lowest in a tank.Meaning those outlets go to the rear of the truck.Last edited by Dave Severson; 12-24-2006 at 02:46 PM.

Yes I amdefinitely going to use a rubber lining ,maybe 1/8" or 1/4".I figure the outlet and inlet go to the rear of the truck.I am just asking cause my "bro in law" came by and swore up and down ,and said it was wrong ,wrong ,wrong.the oulet goes to the front.I told him ya I guess it could if you were planing at sitting at a stop light all day.He got pissed and left saying I was wrong

The tank I showed (Not Summit tank) has a fuel sump with two outlets on the other side(bottom of tank) .I didn't get it in the pick though,but its on the other side.
It looks like the summit pic on the other side

Dumb question, but can you MIG aluminum? I thought only TIG worked in it.
