cleat 7,061 #2 Posted August 2, 2018 Looks really good. The seat looks just like the one on my big tractor. Does it have suspension as well ? Did you do a pressure test on the tank ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandyLittrell 3,894 #4 Posted August 2, 2018 Looks good @elliot ness, is that just a close nipple and galvanized cap? Also, did you put a vent in? I am likely going to go the same route for my GT14. Randy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No on the suspension and no on the pressure test, I left it full of fuel over night and no leaks, good enough for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandyLittrell 3,894 #14 Posted August 5, 2018 If you wouldn't mind, let us know after you have used it awhile, if it works like you wanted or if you would make changes. I think that is just what I want to do for a fuel tank on my GT14. Thanks, Randy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
