spare well removal
« on: March 05, 2006, 03:05:01 PM »

Noticed a lot of guys removing the spare well.  What's the idea behind this, is it to get the fuel cell up higher or purely asthetics?  I've got a cell and I'm starting to wonder if I should cut out the well.  Thanks,

Drew

I moved my Dana back an inch which put it into the gas tank. I'm going with a 22 gallon cell so the sump was useless. Also want to run the pipes out the back.

I cut it out along the frame flange and buttwelded 16ga. The thicker 16ga. makes washing in the existing floor easy.
