Dave the part about widening the tanks flew right over my head until Mike resurrected the thread. how about a quick description of how you did that?

The fuel tanks are held to the sheet metal chassis by four small screws. Remove them and the tank splits into two halfs down the middle. I use .060 plastic sheet to widen the tank about half an inch. I just use Gorilla glue to gule the tank to the plastic and then a coat of 5 minute epoxy on the inside to bond it all together. I then glue another sheet of .060 plastic inside the top of the tank.......when all dried I hold it in place, mark where the screws need to attach, drill pilot holes and  use small #6 sheet metal screws to re-attach the tank to chassis. Pretty simple ....mostly labor. thx
