Thanks Mike. I welded full time for 8 years prior to my current job.

Yes, I cleaned up all of the holes while I had the bottom off. I still have to fix the vent tube and filler neck. The vent tube was supposed to face the same way as the filler neck. The filler neck was supposed to be double mitered instead of the 45 deg cut like it currently has now. I think the 45 will have a negative effect when filling it. I could be mistaken about that, but I'd feel better if the neck had a smoother radius in it. Also, depending on what late model fuel door setup I go with I may have to change the diameter of the filler neck itself to match the diameter of the hose from the donor fuel door.

What are you doing to vent your tank?
