Your trash company must love you using the cans as painting tables. At least you'll know which cans are yours if they ever walk away from the end of your driveway.

Got to the aux fuel tank for an hour or so today.

First up was checking the fit of the fuel pickup. Dan has it sized to where it sits 1/2" from the bottom of the tank

Next I found some fittings for the fuel supply and vent ports.
These will be temporary as I think the supply needs to be a 90 degree fitting, and the vent needs to be 1/2"

The fuel level sender is custom fit. You take a measurement of the depth of the tank, then reference a chart, then cut to length...its that simple!

I mounted it under the "Shelf and plumbed it to the inlet. Fear not, I will install an inline filter, this is only temporary using the good parker hose I have been using all over the truck.

Looks good Don....what have you decided on plumbing the filler? Will you run it to the side of the cap some how? Thinking it will be tough to fill from inside the cap?

Have you incorporated a way to "liberate" fuel from other sources?   

Example
If the grid goes down and fuel stations have no pump to get fuel out of their tanks.   You could rig up a quick connect on the inlet side of your pump to allow you to attach a length of hose to pump out of other tanks to fill your tank.

Been looking at that

I think I am going to move the cap CB antenna up the side to near the top, then cut in a fuel filler where the antenna base is now. Would make for a neck of maybe 8" long. I think that would be best than risk cracking a long pipe that runs to the back.

I don't know Matt

I could plumb in a drain somewhere, but this little fuel pump does not move a lot of fuel quickly. The only thing I might want to refuel is the Suzuki if I could score one of the motorcycle diesel engines they have bolted onto the KLR Kawas...

No elaborate equipment needed
For oil pans, just ram a screwdriver into the pan and catch it in a bucket, then pour it through a cloth into the tank.

It fits together well and is pretty secure. I'd say lay a rubber pad over it when it is vehicle mounted and call it good!

I would plum the line right across the front using a clamp to hold the line/filter. Then loop to the pump, keeps the filter in the open for easy access. That loop is begging to pinch and a 90 off the pump would really clean it up and make it solid.

Just an idea,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I thought of grabbing a piece of 3/4" plywood and ripping it lengthwise after it was cut to maybe 38" wide or so and join the ends (Former cut seam) with a hinge. The thing would fold over on itself. One end resting on the fuel cell, the other on the Bosch tool/parts boxes. That would serve as a desk/work area, then unfold it for an emergency place to sleep.

Had that plan almost from the beginning

I was going to mount up that aux fuel tank today but the final coating I applied to the base did not completely dry, so I didn't get too far with it

First I primed the base with the Summit acid etching primer

I decided to use an epoxy bedliner compound on the base of the tank since it will get hard mounted and will likely never be removed.

The plan for this truck is to get it running.

To do that I plan to just take it to a shop where a real diesel mech can set things right with whatever is causing the motor to throw out so much raw fuel.

So I'll throw in this Aux tank, really, just to get it off the floor, and hooking that up. Then I'll throw a couple more leaves into the front spring leaf packs and fix a couple small leaks I found. I still need to hook up the brakes and the shifter linkage but with that, it will be flat bed time and from the shop over to the alignment shop to get an initial alignment on it.

Following that, I'll figure out those much longer rear springs then build the side armor. With the cold weather at hand, lawn work will soon cease and liberate time to get back on the Square truck

I like sarge better than big red.

Do you have a shop local? Maybe someone from the shop working on sarge can come over?

They have it all done except for redoing the loader control valve again.

Seems when they fired it up, Lock-Tite took it out in the lot for like an hour of grubbing, then applied his Hawk eye to it and discovered the LCV was still leaking. They had it in the shop, but had to take it out for a higher priority job. That and the O-rings hadn't come in yet, so it all makes sense.

I'm afraid I won't get much work out of it this year. It starts in raining pretty soon and that will put the 'Habeaus-Stopus" on heavy track vehicle operations.

Hey, Never thought about this, but I need a loader bucket

I need a 1.75-2 yard bucket with teeth for a 1976 Case 1150B. Mine is all worn out underneath and the cutting edge. A new custom one costs more than a Kia. I can't find a used one...Anyone hear or see such a thing, let me know!

Copy that!

I have been so busy like as in all day, every day on something else that I don't have the time to teach myself the art of diesel injection timing. I feel like I want to learn it, as this is far from my last Cummins!

Tell you what, before all the dust settles, C-Max will be rolling on a Dana 60 with a tweaked 12 valve 6BT Cummins pushing it around!

Have Dan take a look at it, I'm sure he can re-plate the underside and tune up the cutting edge.  With his welding truck, he can take care of it either at Case or at the farm.

Got the aux fuel tank physically in the truck

Found this cool fuel door assembly over at Speedway Motors.

Will be cutting that into the topper to provide a filler like 8" away from the tank!

Nice! That will make the plumbing much mo easier.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
