Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: gas tank constructionI have been looking at this product for quite some time in considering building my gas tank does anyone have experience with the Super alloy 5. Seemsa bit pricey but it it works as well as the demo video shows I may give it a shot._http://www.muggyweld.com/5clip2.html_ (http://www.muggyweld.com/5clip2.html) Has anyone tried this stuff?JohnIn a message dated 12/10/2008 11:48:21 A.M.

Another way would be to cut off the top partof your existing neck with a tubing cutter or hacksaw, then weld in an extension.It sounds like you're looking for something that could be screwed right into yourexisting neck to bring it a bit higher but you'd have to make your own.You can get a neck from an auto junkyard by cutting the neck off an old fuel tankbut it would have to be an older vehiclewithout the screw-in cap. Or browse Summit Racing or Moroso- they have all kindsof filler necks available for building your own tanks. I got the filler neck formy smoke oil tank from Summit but it's for a radiator cap, not a fuel filler cap.Search their website on "filler neck" or something like that.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net**************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
