EP. 7 - CUSTOM FUEL TANK | Radial Airplane Motor Volkswagen: HAMMER FORMED

- čas přidán 22. 08. 2024
- On this Episode we fly into the fuel tank. An aircraft themed rectangle tank with hammer formed beads. We create a simple baffle inside and weld in the mounts for both fuel pickup and fuel sender. This was a lot of work, in order to keep the theme throughout the entire car. Something many will never take notice of, but it's every small detail that counts. Enjoy!

Always fascinating to watch you turn raw material into the beautiful, functional pieces that start as an Imaginary picture in your mind. Not just parts anymore but custom automotive jewelry.
Thank you Gary! It’s always nice to see the outcome
I admire the way you have an idea and just go for it. You'll definately not scared of failure and use them to learn and improve. Love your work ethic and really enjoy the channel.
Thanks John, I think it’s a great approach to a lot of things. Dad taught me this young!
Absolutely beautiful job sir
Zinc Chromate primer for the aluminum tank... beautiful work!
Yes that’s the combo!
Great looking tank ,should work a treat, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thank you Donald- right back at yeah!
Jordan, you are a talented guy, and an incredible inspiration. Keep it up.
I appreciate that!
Great work bro, the old battery skill saw with a fine blade is also good for cutting the Ali sheet. Looking forward to this vid, thanks 🙏
Nice work that's goin to be one cool combi. 😁🇬🇸👍
Thanks 👍
Amazing combination of artistry and fabrication! The thought/calculations just in the bend/break of the sheet metal was mind blowing! Amazed by how your mind works from idea to finished product! Inspiring stuff and expertly explained! Go BENNETTS CUSTOMS! Keep moving forward!
Thank you very much sir! Always a pleasure
Beautiful work on that fuel tank Jordan! Cool design and very well thought out, great job!
That's the best gas tank, I've seen.
Beautiful tank Jordan , well done!
Thank you kindly!
This is looking very nice, excellent work.
cheers from Austria
Thank you!
Tank looks amazing! Would definitely help with some baffling inside, less slosh going round corners and fuel starvation once fuel low. Look at the foam baffling if it’s too difficult to get some metal baffles welded in
I have a welded in Buffle- not sure it made the video but one is in place to help with exactly that!
That’s such a lush looking tank. Everything you do is always so nice, that vans going to be so cool
Wow Jordan that is the coolest fuel tank i have ever seen. Nice very nice.
something to keep in mind for next time that you build a fuel tank for a fuel injected engine , build a surge tank so the engine doesnt starve of fuel
Tanks for the cool video.
Great work Jordan
Outstanding craftmanship! Take care
Thanks Dale!
Fantastic work!
Looks great, nice job
Looks fantastic as usual, another inspirational video, bring on the next one! 👍
Very nice job!😃
The radius of your bend plus material thickness will give you your dimension lines for the flats. we used this in Aircraft sheet metal work. There is a calculation for the material used especially for 90 degree bends that will give you the whole layout picture.
Very nice work Jordan Looks great And great Music
Hey Jordan, very nice work on the VW Airplane Fuel Cell! It is so great to watch how you approach these fabrication projects! Thanks a bunch for these
Thanks Tom! It’s been a lot of fun building this one
Superb work Jordan 👍👌
Cheers Chris
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful job on your tank very nice 👍cheers from California mate
Thanks 👍
Hey Jordan. That alli -min-um! Turned out great. A nice looking tank. The baffle will help keep fuel slosh to a minimum. Q. If you made a cylinder with out a slip roll. What tools would you use. A tucking fork.? Best wishes to you and your family and friends. Tim.
O and by the way. Was you on vacation when you picked up those treasures with Carl back in the home land. In the make it custom unleashed? Enjoyed that vid also. Cheers.
You bet!
An English wheel would get it close, a sheet metal brake with soft edges and small increments could do it or maybe some muscle and an old gas bottle would do the trick!
This whole project looks great.
The fuel tank will really pop in the lime green colour.
Did you include any baffles inside to reduce fuel slosh or are they not really necessary?
Looking ahead I'm eager to hear how this motor sounds compared to a flat 4.
Keep up the good stuff.
Yes definitely put one in and will help eliminate a fair amount of slosh!
Nice job Jordan! May I suggest a bung on the bottom for draining the tank should it ever become necessary?
There will be a few bungs I’ll weld in forsure! Needs a return line still, a breather, and drain
Luar biasa bengkel tempat bekerja sangat lengkap Bang Jordan.semoga sukses dan sehat2 selalu Jordan dan team Bennet custums.👍👍
Thank you for the kind words!!
Looks good
Don't know about your Aussie gas, but would protecting the inside with sloshing coating be in order? I did it to an old Studebaker tank 9 years ago and it is still like new inside. Ethanol and water can corrode and the sloshing coating really works!
Yes definitely something to consider for sure!!
That brake is the same one I used in Edmonton, at National Metal
Awesome!
There are bend allowance formulas to figure out the material used in a bend.
Thanks!
Thank you sir as always for the kind words, the fun comments and support, this makes creating these videos a lot more fun!
So Canada is just North America yeah? (just havin' a go) Also, if I went to Canada or the States, I would never ever stop calling it aluminium, because every time I say it, that's 'home'.
Jordan love your choice of music. Do you have a play list?
What type of paper are you using for the shape metal?
48 and 24 oz straw board. Awesome stuff for templates
Radial Flyer was my suggestion, don't I get a jumper or hat or something?!? 😊
What alloy of Alumin(i)um? 3003? 1100? 5052?
Looks good! Just wondering, whats the capacity of tank?
About 44 litres
It's a shame to do all that nice fab work only to hide into a place that few if any will see, because as you said, a stock tank will work just as well. Realistically you could have made a dress panel to mount on the visible side of the tank and gotten the same or better look at a fraction of the time and material cost.
Are you Shaw about that Willie?
@@bennettscustomsco Yup
Shaw thing! Cheers for the support
Mate. If you want to call yourself an Aussie, we will have to educate you on how to pronounce that shiny metal with an atomic number of 13 correctly.😂😊😂😊
Allumm-I-num? 🤣
Helps some if you’ve lived with Aussies for a while. (1984-5).
