Updates!
original thread here
Fuel system was next on the list to be worked on. We’ve had the build on hold to finish up our MK1 VR6 motor mount kit, and several other big turbo fabrication builds.
In the mean time we’ve also been working on billet dipstick replacements.
Lifetime warranty stainless and 6061 contruction!
Since rear floor is raised and with the AWD suspension and drivetrain taking up lots of space. We had to be creative and utilize as much free space as possible for the tank. This involves building a gas tank from scratch.
Tire hump was first cut out
Plenty of useable gas space
Sheet metal will be fabricated and welded back in place
With the available open drop section in the rear we’ll box in an area to utilize even more gas tank space.
After built it will also be reinforced and welded in place.
Here is the finished product
We’ll then built a gas tank from stainless steel and it will sit perfectly in the floor once finished
Detail shots
Edges notched out
New made floor slipped in place
The fuel system will consist of twin walbro 255 intank pumps with -8 fuel lines throughout.
We’ll use an OEM R32 fuel pump assembly to utilize the factory fuel level sender so the oem gauge works properly. In order to make it work with an all stainless fuel tank we machined custom fuel pump hats.
The lid will have all the all an bungs and fittings welded to it with functional oem connectors as well for power and sender
