Fuel tank installed

You may remember, that your problem was why I recommend the stainless tank. The spot welded ring distorts when installing the sending unit lock ring. You had already purchased the steel tank though. Good luck, hope it stays dry. Would still recommend the stainless to anyone who is switching out a tank.
Hey Greg, glad you saw this thread.
Cruze418 helped me out, with advice and recommending parts including the lock ring wrench.
The lock ring that came with the tank is designed to only get so tight and not damage the flange. The one I used probably has the potential to break the spot welds loose if I were to try and tighten it completely. So if anyone else takes this route, be careful!
You can see the tabs, spot welds, lock ring that came with the tank , ground strap and just make out the foam padding above the tank.

I think it is sealed now but I feel like it is a one time use tank and I may not be as lucky next time. I would take Cruze418 recommendations for the stainless tank if the lock ring is better.
