Re: Auxiliary fuel tank.
There's some engineering not seen since the 70's and Ford's design of the infamous Pinto model, for those of you who remember that PR nightmare.

Re: Auxiliary fuel tank.
Jonas,
It seems you are well aware of the ever thirsty nature of the P motor. The good news is that it keeps fuel moving through the system so it has less chance to go bad. The coolest auxiliary fuel tanks I've seen on this forum were the ones installed under the front fenders. They were super cool. I wish the member with that modification would send more pictures and update us on how it is mounted to the frame, wheel travel limitations, if any, and whether they put pressure on the sheet metal in any particular way.
Patrolling when possible,
L60Boerne

I was thinking the 60s early 70s pickups with the tank behind the seat.rjiggy wrote:There's some engineering not seen since the 70's and Ford's design of the infamous Pinto model, for those of you who remember that PR nightmare.
