Title: Drawings for fuel tank plywood
Post by: jonsm114 on January 18, 2020, 07:40:11 PM

does anyone have drawings or instructions on the use of plywood around the tanks. I know there is a bottom, front and back.....1/2 inch? Possibly on ends as well...any help appreciated.

Here you go Jon:

1/2" plywood on bottom and back of tank only. This is what I used for my original tanks which have the self-sealing compound all around and the tank covers hold them perfectly. If your tanks are not like this or are after-market, you may have to have something in front of the tank as well in order to secure the tank.

Side piece 40 inches x 15.5 inches...the bottom piece is 9.5 inches x 43 inches... the center has a 4.25 diameter hole and it is 21.5 inches from the end of the plywood to the center of the hole... all plywood is half-inch marine plywood. these measurements are off an m16 halftrack thanks to mkoloc ...
