Blazer Tank Install Thread/Link????
Is there something wrong with the FAQ section? I searched the FAQ for "Blazer Tank" and keep getting no results. I asked it to search thread titles and reply text. Surely there is a thread there for installing a blazer tank. Does anyone have a link in their subscribed threads?
I'm installing the CPP steel blazer tank and it didn't come with instructions...so far I have the cross sill cut out, the sending unit installed, and the tank mocked up in place with tie down straps. I'm having trouble figuring out how the mounting straps mount. Do the j-bolts go through the same holes as the locating tabs on the sides of the tank? And if they do, where does the other end mount? On top of the frame? Or do I have to drill all new holes for the strap mounting points?

Why do you suggest relocating the filler? I plan on running mine straight up through the floor of the bed. I have a billet fuel door from a Dodge Ram that I plan on installing in the floor on the driver side. Remington Steel - how did you run your filler? I have a stepper also and curious how you did yours. Also, it looks like your running a carb return, but why is there fuel line on the other side as well? Is it a vent? Did you just cap the opening next to the filler? I attached a pic to clarify...

Re: Blazer Tank Install Thread/Link????
the carb. return I plugged fuel pump went to fuel pump the vent I plugged but it could be the vent and plug the other..
You need the sending unit one to go to fuel pump Filler neck and a vent

Can’t believe there isn’t a simple breakdown online as to what each line/outlet is for. Ran a wire into each. Seems like the 1/2” is vent, passenger side is also vent and the drivers side 5/16” the wire jams quickly so I was thinking that one probably goes to bottom of tank for fuel?? |
