[QUOTE="westgl, post: 116452, member: 2025"] I will try to get some pics, wife is calling me to go with her to get groceries, but i will snap some pic soon as i can. Now as the title of this thread implies, to add or Not to add the extra tank. My upper tank (the Red & Black one) is not mounted yet, as i am still deciding how and if I am going to proceed or not, so far it looks like it will work. Testing would have to be done. The new stant Gas cap is [b]Vented[/b] that may present a minor problem, till worked out. A potential problem that i see, I want to make sure that i dont go out to my shop and have a situation of the upper tank has over flowed the lower tank and 4.8 gallons of a freshly filled tank(s) is all over the shop floor. So one thought is, to release fuel from a given tank, only when it is needed, my upper tank has a valve on it, like the oem tank has on it. Meaning, Fuel valve, positions, On, Off, Reserve [/QUOTE]
