Hello
I just installed a new gas tank on my 66 Dodge A100 Pickup . The fuel inlet point on the tank in very low. How does the tank get full with inlet port is towards the bottom ??
Thanks

The hose for the filler would be up higher than the tank inlet.

That would only work if there is an air bleed at the high point of the tank. Same reason you can't mount a slave cyl upside down.

It just seems like that because the gas level is higher than the inlet you would pushing the gas uphill.

Its not perfect but close. Somebody has posted the Fuel Sending units OHMs somewhere on the site, i am too lazy too look for it. i think the ford is
90 ohms empty, 7 ohms full range where the dodge is 73 ohms empty, 10 ohms full range. I am sure someone will correct if i am wrong
