I purchased a used aluminum fu
I purchased a used aluminum fuel tank for my 74 CC 25'Explorer. I am looking for knowledge on doing the installation. I have found two different ways so far. One was to glue 1/4" strips of plastic to the bottom of the tank every 12" making sure that the plastic has no space for water to accumulate under it to prevent corrosion of the tank. The other one is to encapsulate the tank in foam. I like the plastic strips. Any one have some experience in this who would like to add to the discussion. I have a plastic tank right now that is only 30 gal which is a little small for my bb chevy. I have plenty of time so I would like to do it right. I also have read that I sure use stainless fittenings inbetween the brass and tank. Thanks in advance.
