Fuel Tank Advice Needed for Repower
Posted: Oct 7th, '12, 16:07
Hey guys,
I am making progress on my 28 repower with the Cummins 4BT's, next week I'm doing a dry fit of the motors so that I can make mock ups of the supports needed. I got one shaft cut to length with a fit and face of the flange. Wouldn't you know it, the 1.5" hubs on the brand new props are only machined at about 1.4"? Anyone heard of that?
Right now though I want to make progress on my fuel tank. My FB tank is fine and I want to reuse it, however I need to add return lines, etc. Can I just use the original single brass pickup assembly with the three original valves? Then just tap two return fittings into the fill tube plate at the front of the tank?
What's everyones take? Again I am looking to take the economical but right route.
Thanks.
