Thread: Boat blower for trunk ??

As long as I don't dribble fuel when filling I'm not concerned with flammable fumes. Many older pickup trucks had the fuel tank right behind the seat, with the filler on the side of the cab.

I did the same thing as Roger when I built my deuce. Overkill or not, it makes me feel safe.

Not to hijack the thread, but what material did you use for your bulkhead behind the tank?

I like to use .090 aluminum for a fire resistant bulkhead, then seal the edges with seam sealer or structural adhesive....

OK, a question. Why worry with a fire resistant bulkhead be in a glass bodied car? It seems to me that a 1/2" plywood panel sealed as noted should be equal to or better than the fiberglass it is connected to.
