411 fuel tank fitment problems

Recommended Posts

Howdy, pulled my fuel tank from my 1966 411 sedan and got it boiled out. When it came back it no longer seems to fit. The center bottom is clearly hitting on the "hump" in the body. The straps no longer are the correct length. I figured I was just an idiot and pulled the tank again and this time took out both of the bottom fittings as they made it difficult to get in and out of the car. It clearly sits on the tank middle and not in the mounts. Any chance one of you have good pics of the stock tank in the car as well as the bottom of the tank? I'm reluctant to reshape it with a dead blow hammer, but really don't like it not sitting correctly. The thing is the tank does not look any different from when I gave it to the shop. This is puzzling and frustrating.

 

Thanks, Derek

Longer straps wouldn't help his hitting the body problem ,, and if it was shimmed up and the fell out the straps would be too long not to short...

 

If they did a pressure check to check for leaks 4psi could easily puff it out ..

 

Here's one out and one in
