Corvette gas tanks/fuel lines, fuel filter/regulator, AC compressor cover plate, pre-bent barbed fuel
line (FFR# 25753, 25888, 25889).
The Corvette fuel tanks are now installed. The driver/passenger tanks must be swapped side to side when
installing then in your GTM chassis. Lay the tanks into the chassis to get a better understanding on their
orientation and to see which tubes they are in contact with. Mark the frame tubes which are in contact
with the tanks (same procedure used on driver and passenger side). You will also want to cap off the old
filler neck ports on the tank which now point towards the engine on the passenger side.
Remove the tanks from the chassis and install the adhesive backed weather strip in the areas the fuel tank
is in contact with the frame (FFR# 10857). Set the tanks back into the frame and add additional weather
strip if needed. On the passenger side, mock up the AC compressor cover plate (FFR# 25753) to check its
clearance between both it and the AC Compressor and it and the fuel tank.
