decided to remove the tank tonight,i wouldn't be happy leaving it the way it is.
I bought a couple of -6 fittings and cut the damaged one off.
also cut off the section of the tank that needs bent up.
ill try and get the fitting brazed on at the weekend,also spoke to gaz and hes happy to repaint the tank once im happy with it,really seems to be one step forward and two back at the moment.
heres some pics:
how hes damaged it I don't know,you can see the difference here.

Yeah all Teflon on mine but mine is a bit here there and every wear lol as mine go's tank to pump to filter then into the boot to a swirl pot and off to another pump to feed the rail plus the rail is twin return to a different type on reg -8 feed and -6 return as I'm going 650bhp.
Yours looks more standard lay out and a top notch job you have done on it as well mate

My car was 500bhp for almost 4 years on the standard tank then I got an aftermarket one with a metal swirl pot in it. Modded my hole fuel system for more power every thing aero quipped. First time I drove it with the new tank it surged like fuck I was not happy so had to fit a swirl pot and second pump

Just thought I could collect sun as I'm driving back to scotland as I'd prefer a one piece.

spent a little time on the car this weekend,fuel system all done now.
as you can see in the next pic ive added and couple of extra wires(thanks for the loom mike)so I can run it to a volt gauge in the dash to keep an eye on the voltage at the pump.
also got the rocker cover gasket fitted.
also decided to re-do the majority of the brake lines in steel just got to order it up from ford,hopefully new engine loom will be in soon aswell,ordered up some powerflex exhaust mounts,they should be here in a couple of days.
