Fuel tank

I had a few large expense items holding up proceedings and I've been slack with photos and updates for some time so here are the latest updates.

First up is the fuel tank.
I sourced the OEM Toyota ZZE12x Corolla internal non return fuel pump/strainer/filter/regulator/sender assembly and mounting ring to design around.
The available rear chassis space was measured up and some scrap corflute from the local sign shop was sourced.
This was cut to size and the basic fuel tank shape was taped together. I then added some internal ribs for strength and baffling and orientated the fuel pump assembly for ideal operation. The volume has been calculated at approximnately 32 litres.
The corflute "tank" and pump hardware was handed over to Ross at Alloy Magic and he came back to me with the perfectly assembled and matching tank as pictured.
