I wanted tank with fuel line in middle. Description said fuel line was on end, but picture showed it in middle. I called tech line & they said best to go by description, so I ordered it expecting it that way. When arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find it indeed had fuel line in middle!

The fuel Tank on my car is leaking and i have to figure a way not to dismantle it be able to use the new tank as a fueling source with an electric fuel pump. i plan to put a small tank over the engine and use a switch to fill that tank to provide gravity feed to the carb. The car is only used for parades and such.
