As many know welding on a fuel tank is something that can go drastically wrong. I find myself needing to add a sump to a tank on a car Im building and not sure of how to handle this task. Im working on an older dodge, 66 dart, and I plan on doing some drag racing a few times a year. For this I should have a sump, so the need to drill the tank then weld a sump onto the bottom has confronted me. Has anyone here done anything like this and what safety precautions did you follow.
I know the safest way to add a sump is to buy a fuel cell with a sump already on it, but that means losing my spare tire well and I dont want to do that as I plan on driving on the street and I want to carry a spare. I know we are vette owners here but many have other cars so Im sure others here have crossed this situation before.
As always Thanks in advance for your suggestions and comments.
