All welded up thanx to Paul over at Tarpon Stainless and Laser Cutting. I am so missing having my own TIG welder. My MIG is okay, but TIG is the shizzy!

Road tested the tank tonight. Not so much as a drop or a damp spot on the welded areas or any of the new -10 AN fittings. I was also able to drive the car into town with less than 2 gallons in the tank with no problem. I now have exactly 5 gallons in the car. I ran it through the gears and it feels good. Before the tank mod, that would have resulted in a fuel starved, nose over. I will test it with the fuel pressure gauge tomorrow after work, but I feel confident. I am very pleased with this project.

So, I have measured the net benefit of all this work. The car was over 1 tenth and 1 mph faster due to the reduced weight of carrying 16 gallons less fuel. I ran the car with 4 gallons several passes, then filled it up and ran two more. Success!
