I absolutely hate it when you think you are getting good new parts and end up with garbage. I have that same fuel tank that I threw across the shop and ended up ordering a steel one. I thought the plastic one was terrible. Good job on the video as usual.
I contemplated the plastic tank. Ended up going with steel tank w/ bottom connections. I can send you fueling routing from fuel pump to carb video if you would like. I have 1960 CJ5. My grandfather taught me to drive it when I was six years old (1970). I am restoring it now. You can imagine the value of this Jeep to me. I have two sons like you (25 and 31). Your videos are absolutely awesome for restoration and forward thinking. Thank you for sharing them! Could you do me a favor and tell me where you got the wheels for your 67 cj5? I am looking to replace original wheels with up to date safer ones. Also if you put rubber shims or original felts under that tank, the fuel neck may line up better with the opening in the body.
That’s awesome! Thank you I really appreciate it! They are Kelsey Hayes renegade 1 wheels. They are pretty rare and hard to come by I’m afraid. I went back and shimmed it up with rubber to make the fuel filler line up better, thank you!
Nice job... sometimes its better to give a job to a professional for excellent results such as the Carb you mentioned. I replaced the tank in my 50 Willys pickup with a Poly Unit. It fit well and it is made in America but the fuel line I made all myself. I also used a Facet Electric fuel pump with rubber isolators which makes it super quiet. The Holley electric one was junk. I placed an inline Pressure Regulator, a Pressure Gauge, Glass filter after the Gauge so I will be able to see when it may be clogged and although they have a built in pump removable fuel filter in the Pump I also put a see through unit in with a shut off for easy changing. Of course I am running a Ford 302 V-8 with an Edlebrock Carb.
Keep up the great video's! I used vinegar on old tank and cleaned it up instead (But you didn't have that option with your project). Also bent my own line from fuel pump to carburetor.
I'm about to start the process of replacing most of my fuel system and fixing parts that just need some tlc. I limped my cj2a through the last few weeks of fall with the intentions of working on it over the winter. With warmer weather coming and this video providing some additional motivation, it is time to get it out of the pole shed and into the garage. Perseverance is the key when keeping an old jeep running. Great video.
I just started looking at my line’s today and glad I watched your video as you answered several of my questions and concerns! As always Great content!!!’
Scout Pilot did an amazing job on my carb as well. I replaced all my gas lines, but I had an original line to compare to and the new one went under water pump and wrapped around to passenger side then up to carb. Several of the bolts had clip/clamps to hold the line in place. I used a fuel pump for the F-134 that didn’t use a glass bowl and Scout pilot rebuilt mine a well. Metal tank works well and cleaner install, just have to deal with rust with time.
Good information, thanks for doing this video. You have made me feel better about my recent decision to use a steel gas tank replacement and make up my own fuel lines. I did all that because I'm cheap but sounds like I accidentally avoided several headaches. Keep up the good work.
That hard line you said goes to the carb looks like same bends as the oil feed from next the fuel pump to the original type oil filter on the 3b. Plastic tank should be a good thing, but not with a top feed like that. The second pipe is possibly a return for a closed system.
I bought that fuel line kit also... the one from the pump to the carb was a mystery to me on how it was supposed to be routed as well. I just kinda made it work but I think I'm going to do what you did and bend my own. Yours looks so much better than the hokey routing that I did with the one in the kit. I'm not a big fan of Omix-Ada parts anyway, I try to find used or NOS as much as I can and wish I would have just done that with the fuel line as well and saved the money on the pre-bent and measured one.
@@SevenBarSalvage no worries! Just checking in on you. When we get following along with good folk and don't hear in awhile you just don't know what might have happened to you as life goes. 👍🙏✝️
Never seen a plastic tank, i built alloy ones for mine, one to replace the original and another down the back between the chassis rails up behind the diff.
A better path for your fuel line is tucked up along the outside edge along with the sending unit wire. Then if you go through the firewall near the hi-beam foot switch, you're right where you need to be in the engine compartment.
@@SevenBarSalvage awesome thank you! I have a '70 cj5. I just got some 15s with 3.75 backspacing. Hopefully they look good like yours. I am looking at 32X11.5 tires. I'm sold now. Thank you!!
If you’ve not got a welder you could use clamp connectors to extend it… not the best way to do it but at least it’ll get you going! Sorry to hear that!
The time to return everything wasn’t worth it… I’m happy with how it turned out I just felt like I took the long way around and the quality wasn’t what it should have been. Thanks!
Thought you said the fuel line you ordered was for the wrong years? Might be why it doesn’t fit.🫤 I’ve had real good luck with InlineTubes for pre bent hard lines.
It still should have fit, same engine and gas tank location. I’ve had good luck in the last on other vehicles but it sounds like others have had the same issue I did with these lines. Thanks!

Live and learn. Thank you!
Best money spent on my Jeep so far, was without a doubt the Scoutpilot rebuild on my carb.
He’s a good guy that does excellent work!

Plumbing is a lot of work to get right. Nice job here, and your comments on the parts and carb work are spot on.
Thank you I appreciate it!
Thanks for the referral!!! Jeep on!

Shoot yeah get that thing out and enjoy it this summer!
Hopefully there's a video coming where your testing on all your upgrades soon
Yep I for sure plan on doing that! I’ve been moving into a new shop but hopefully soon I’ll get back to it!
I just started looking at my line’s today and glad I watched your video as you answered several of my questions and concerns! As always Great content!!!’
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Haven't seen another video in a while buddy hope all is well...love working on the older vehicles
I’ve been moving into a new place hoping to get started back up next month, thanks for checking!
Great video, Keep up the good work. I was given a 1977 CJ, the general knowledge is very helpful easy to follow. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Thank you!

Haha yeah you did the right thing! Thank you!

Maybe that’s what it’s for? Yeah I would recommend the stock metal one. Thanks!

I’m glad I’m not alone haha! Yeah nos is the way to go if you can find it! Thanks!
I bought a steel tank and made my own hard lines
I wish I had haha
Desde Vzla 👍
Just thought I'd check in on you ? Been a bit and was hoping all is well. 🙏✝️👍
I’ve been moving houses and moving into a new shop! Hopefully I’ll get back to filming soon! I really appreciate you checking in!

The joy of modern "parts".
For a while, it was just the classic reproductions that were bad. Now, even parts for 21st century cars are junk.
Yep it’s a shame, and NOS parts are drying up pretty quick
Actually,very helpful!!!!
Glad to hear it!
Never seen a plastic tank, i built alloy ones for mine, one to replace the original and another down the back between the chassis rails up behind the diff.
I’m hoping to get a tig someday and make custom gas tanks that go under the bed. Thanks!
Awesome Video G!

That would work too, thanks for sharing!
The hard fuel line was probably made for the Dauntless V6
Could be!
Was the fuel tank and kit out of Kaiser Willy’s catalog? I just found my jeep CJ3A and this project is on my to do list. Thanks for your input.😮
Yeah I got all the tank stuff from Kaiser willys but I think they sell it in kit form. I think the metal tanks are the way to go to be honest!
Lines should look into the bottom
What size tires and wheel backspacing do you have on there? Looks good
32x11.5x15’s I’m not sure what the backspacing on these old wheels are I need to measure. I am running 1.5” wheel spacers. Thank you!
@@SevenBarSalvage awesome thank you! I have a '70 cj5. I just got some 15s with 3.75 backspacing. Hopefully they look good like yours. I am looking at 32X11.5 tires. I'm sold now. Thank you!!
Good information! Did you ever finish the CJ3A?
I’m gonna get back on the CJ3B soon… I’ve got almost everything to finish it! Thanks!
WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE BETWEEN THE TIN TANK VERSES THE PLASTIC TANK ?
I think it was $75-$100 at the time. The plastic was more expensive. Thanks!
Your sending unit should be the tab on top of the pickup correct
I believe so!
I wish I had seen your video a month ago. I think I bought the same junk kit you did and can’t make it work!
If you’ve not got a welder you could use clamp connectors to extend it… not the best way to do it but at least it’ll get you going! Sorry to hear that!
I need that carb guys contact,,,,, BAD!!!
I don't know nutin bout how to rebuild a carb
Thanks! Gus 1970 CJ5
oldjeepcarbs.com is his website scoutpilot is his username! Good luck!
I'm too OCD to live with that kludge. I've have to get a metal tank and reroute the lines to match factory ones.
The time to return everything wasn’t worth it… I’m happy with how it turned out I just felt like I took the long way around and the quality wasn’t what it should have been. Thanks!
Hey there. Haven't seen much of you lately. You ok?
I’ve been moving into a new place, hopefully start filming again next month! Thanks for checking!

I’ve had real good luck with InlineTubes for pre bent hard lines.
It still should have fit, same engine and gas tank location. I’ve had good luck in the last on other vehicles but it sounds like others have had the same issue I did with these lines. Thanks!
