The plan is to hard anodize the tank. I will show a finished picture next week when it returns. I need to make a change to the pump mount to eliminate the steel PEM studs. I learned that I cannot have it anodized with them installed. I'm going to spin up some aluminum pump mounts on my lathe tomorrow. What’s cool about this project is that going to the aluminum tank alone shaved off 5.2 pounds and changing the way the tank and pump was mounted eliminated another 8.5 pounds. I will also be running 3-5 gallons less fuel when racing, with the old setup I needed to run 8+ gallons so the pump would not cavitate while slowing down at the strip. Bottom line about a total 40 pound total weight savings!
