Hey everybody got some updates on the truck,,,,,got really tired of getting a new fuel filter bout every week so i made my Keg a gas tank,,,very easy go to Ace Hardware get a a/n fitting and a matching drill tap,drill ya hole, cut the tap neck off the keg,get you a fuel cell cap thatll fit and seal it, seal the fuel out fitting with REGULAR JB Weld let it dry n hook it all up,,wallah no more breaking down cus of clogged fuel filters,,,

also just installed a Weiand hi-rise intake manifold with a rebuilt holly double pumper,, it took a lil while to do cus it was the 1st one ive ever done plus my buddy who was telling me how to doit left so i had alot of figurin out to do,,,got it done without his help,so im feeling a lil proud rite now,,,, heres the pics

I'm with you on the Rain X. What are "ww's"? windshield wipers?

Why not put the keg off to one side so its easier to fill?

Love the scallops on the hood!

Long ago I had a keg gas tank in a truck.
Got pulled over by a cop that thought he had caught some kid with beer.
It took him about 15 minutes to charge me with something.
He gave me a ticket for no mud flaps. :roll:

Hey looks great. And i am a great lover of beer and beer paraphernalia, I make my own, and use 2 kegs just like that one in the process.

but between the beer keg in the back and the Pabst shifter handle, you might as well have in 6" fluorescent letters across the endgate:
HEY COPPERS!!
PULL ME OVER
IN A CHECKSTOP!!

at least in MY town.

lol down here they either love it cus they think it looks cool or they say "you drink that crap" the best part is when im filling up, people give some crazy looks,,,,,,,

peep mirrors are awsome just take a lil bit to figure out where to put em so you can see

oh yeah, I just remembered, If I was to do such a thing, I would probably use some stuff called Alumiweld, available at Harbor Freight Tools. I havent used the stuff, but I bet it might have better long term results than JB weld, as much as I like JB.

May work for the old kegs, but not for the new stainless ones. :cheers:
