Are you sure the bracing is adequate?
The filler neck is cool as heck.

Very true! We don't have much material here that's under 1/4" thick! Going to make for a heavy duty tractor. LOL. I over build everything anyway... going to be a double-edge sward.

Ahhhhh, ok, in my mind I was thinking horizontal. You probably said something along the way, but my mind gets distracted easy. Happens with shiny things a lot.

That looks really great but I'm a little surprised that you didn't put the fill cap right on top of the tank ?

Well the tank once fully mounted will live in the grill area. If I put the filler cap on the top of the tank I would of had to bore a hole into the cast iron grill.
I have a fuel level sender unit inside the tank from the top down now.. even though it's only 1 gallon I figured it would be neat to have a fuel level gauge. LOL.

Okay .. that makes sense and having a gas gauge is a good idea too.

Pressure tested the tank today.. I think it tested damn well! There was a pin hole in the weld on the top of the tank.. I sealed that with a tack weld. The only other slow leak is around the gasket for the sending unit.. The gasket is just on there dry, and I leveled that location with a 4" angle grinder... So I'll just take a bit more time with something larger format, and use some sealant on the sending unit.. But holding everything together with 10-15psi was a nice relief.
