Close enough! A label would help prevent the local floating gas station from filling it with the wrong stuff...

Never having had to buy a plastic diesel tank, I'm not sure what the differences are, whether a gasoline tank is compatible with diesel or not, or vice versa.

« Last post by Rbob on January 28, 2020, 07:50:31 AM »Thank you, I bought the 30GB, I plan on putting in a portable tank outside of the cabin under a seat box. Sceptor makes some that will work, just got to make the fuel pickup 3/16". I read people have trouble with the 5psi EPA vent not working causing deformation so need to look into fixing that vent...

On another note, mounting the port soon and I remember reading mounting them level but need to make sure.

Which Wallas?

I used the roof template and a jigsaw, then used 40 grit on a semi curved sanding block to make it fit nice. It was 1 1/4" tall when I started, when I got it to fit I trimmed it on the table saw with fence to make it slim as possible.
Not much progress though lately, Mother in-law passed Friday, spent time with Father in-law Saturday and Granddaughter birthday on Sunday.
I did order a Wallas heater today.
