Success! All that's needed is to mount the tank, wire the relay and switch, and run the last few bits of line and tie any loose line up out of the way, especially the one running under the radiator. Probably should find a better place for that...
Pressure tested the tank and the system to 160 psi before the pop-off valve went off...that's a good thing. Shows the tank, the oil filter, and all the other stuff can take the pressure, and all my manifold stuff is sealed up nicely. Drilled a hole for a bulkhead fitting and quick disconnect inside the tub out of the driver's side wheel well, my Dreme quit on me using the grinder to widen the hole enough for the fitting...so I popped the grinding wheel into the drill and finished the job.
Oh, and I dropped the gas tank to clean the skid out...lost another 25 lbs from the mud crammed in there and in the tub around it. Now I can't put it back...it weighed more than I thought and it's awkward. Hopefully Corey can stop by tomorrow and give me a hand.
Someday I'll find a way to make up a mounting plate for another pressure gauge for inside the Jeep...I'm thinking recessed down by the t-case shifter...I'll need some strap steel to bend up and a hole saw. Get another bulkhead fitting and a barbed fitting to match, and run another line off of the t-junction that I have plugged up after the air manifold, that or I'll run it from one of the two plugs in the manifold and save the T fitting for an ARB regulator if I go that route for my front HP44 build.
