I have some helpful tips I can share on the whole tank refurbishing thing.  Glad to help if I can.

Tips would be much appreciated.

I'll write up what I did tomorrow morning. Cliff

Here's the thread I started after I did the 280's tank.  That was my learning experience.  I will post the "better" way I used on the 240 tomorrow.

Another neat thing about those glass filters, when my float levels were off that thing was never completely full.  After a painstaking week of getting the floats right that filter has always been completely full.  If I see it's not full and filling itself up as the car runs I will revisit the float levels. 

I agree, I like to see the fuel too that's why I got one, but the problem is not the glass it's the cheap pot metal on either end, it has no strength.  This is a much safer bet,

You are 100% right Chris!  I've split a couple of the ends over the years and that threaded center stalk deteriorates over time.  A fuel filter that's not fuel proof?  Anyway I hand tighten mine and check them all the time.

I will look around for an aluminum one like you've posted, Jegs has good variety.  Thanks, Cliff.

I like this one...

I bow down in shame.

Went downstairs to wash some clothes and the smell of gas hit me. Which one you did this?

 

 

That sucks. Good thing it didn’t happen when you were driving. I guess I won’t get one of those.

That was oddly coincidental! It wasn't me...

 It's called Synchronicity. I suggest you look skyward and say thanks.

These are the reasons for an electric water heater in my downstars garage.

How do these secure the hose ends?
