OMG girl, I am SOOOO glad it didn't ignite when you were hammering on that steel tank with a steel screwdriver! My niece's husband did that on his Ramcharger and ended up burned over 80% of his body! ALWAYS drain a fuel tank BEFORE removing it!!!!
I remember one of my first bronco projects on my 94 was replacing the rusted gas tank. I opted for a plastic tank even if it was more expensive it wont ever rot or rust now. But side story aside nice lil diy video. Glad to have someone with walk throughs for bronco repairs!
Best video I've watched so far and thank you, this is helpful. Please watch those Sparks from your screwdriver when hammering, I'm sure you have a great and loving guardian angel 😊
Just today I wrestled the fuel tank out of my 85. I snapped the fuel line when taking it off. It’s all rusty inside. You’re an inspiration to keep working on mine haha
When I had a79 Bronco I had the smaller gas tank and added two saddle tanks that were I believe 12 or 14 gallons each, fillers were behind the inner wheel liner. Brought it new for 10,500 out the door, miss that old truck.
Nice to see your project coming along. I saw you and your Bronco at the Raceway a couple of weeks ago. Makes me miss my 78 Bronco. It also came with a factory standard fuel leak.
Great job! Awesome video. You are a step ahead of your bronco project that I am, so it's really nice to see how this stuff comes apart before I actually take it apart.
@@broncobabeadventures4316 Thank you for your reply, Your videos are an inspiration., I'm in the process of replacing the power steering pump in mine. Out side of painting everything a gloss black heat treated paint during the replacement process. I have also replaced the pulley with a billet aluminum polished pulley. I know it sounds crazy about installing something that nice on a crappy old Bronco. But the goal is to eventually rebuild this thing one step at a time. Hopefully I will be able to tackle the brakes next along with a new 4bbl intake manifold and 800 cfm Edelbrock. Please keep sharing your videos!
The upgrade is good choice, did the same, but I used Body Speed nuts instead of Nut and Bolt working solo is a Bich, but I will take your Dirt driveway over my rocky one any day. And the "Filler Hose" why did ford make it so dam tuff to install, great video. Just surface rust. Nice and you used Paint not under coating, better choice once under coating gets loose holds water routs out the body or frame.
I don't know how in the holy hell you got it to stay up in place before installing the pan but all I can say is you're one lucky duck. When I did my Bronco I almost went ape shit crazy trying to get the whole damn thing in place and installed. Good Job yo.
Excellent! Can I borrow you for a day? I'm feeling lazy about installing the damn thing after dropping it to replace the fill hose and pump. Orcs cut the hose to swipe fuel. I wrapped the new one with chainmail. Lol! Just a tip to pass along.
Those 1/2 nuts that you showed are called crushed nuts , look at them closely and you'll see thy are out of round ! Great Job on that messy stinky rusted mess.
I have a 79 Bronco great Job!!! like to see people project that im getting to do. one thing have you installed a vapor revovery system into your Bronco prevent it from vapor locking?
Does the skid plate get pressed against the tank which over time created the hole in tank? Or is there a gap since it didn't leak until you loosened skid plate. Awesome job putting it all together, I hope to have another Bronco soon and I guess I can use your videos for training.
Well I guess Matthew answered that. I'm still not sure what happened to my gas tank. It had a pretty substantial dent in it, so wether or not that had anything to do with the leak or not, its seen some shit, lol. Hope you find your Bronco soon! :)
Did you check to see if the float level was correct? Mine shows 3/4 tank when it's full, and empty when I have about 10 gallons left in the tank. Mine is a 26 gallon tank.
I put the straps between the tank and the skid plate. They were less straps and more gaskets. If your thinking actual straps, I didn’t need them because I have a skid plate
You are my hero. Do you want to get married😊 Roll up your sleeves get dirty and get it done. Use your hands arms knees whatever it takes. Big hammer little hammer punch a hole in it but get it done. And do it all with a smile on your face. You are awesome!!! Something you might want to look into is a product called " rust converter" that is not a brand it is just what it is. What you do is very lightly wire brush things down. And I do mean very lightly cuz you want it to be rusty just not flaky. Brush on rust converter. It is very thin and goes a long way it's almost like milk. It will turn green and then eventually black and actually turns into a protectant primer. And then you can paint over it or leave it as is. Word of warning when using rust converter. Do not dip out of the main jug or pour old unused converter back into the main jug. It will contaminate it and ruin it. So only pour into a small container and use as needed. I'm fixing to subscribe and see how your project goes and maybe it will inspire me to do more with my Bronco. Good luck. You are awesome!!!
Haha thank you!! I actually used rust converter when I stripped it down for paint, that stuff is amazing! It was so satisfying to see the rust turn black!! 🤩
@@broncobabeadventures4316 I guess I need to go back to the beginning and watch all of your progress so I am not redundant with advice that you already know. Yes that stuff is amazing. I got a rusty toolbox that I experimented on with that stuff for the first time about 15 years ago and it's still looks like black primer with no new rust.
That is a vent tube for the gas tank. On 78 California models and all 79's that would hook up to metal tube that ran along the passenger side frame rail and connected to a charcoal canister under the hood. The 78 federal models vented through the gas cap.
Beautiful you should not be rolling around in the dirt like that that face is so gorgeous i see you as a weather lady or in a movie some one get her a acting career or something asap
Great job! Although hammering a metal screwdriver into a steel tank could have ended badly if Mr. Sparky payed a visit. 💥
Awesome vid, im about to do this on my bronco! Bought a poly tank to replace the metal all together
Rust-Oleum ranked very well on project farm. It should last a good while.👍 Great work!!
You are one tough intelligent female every man needs a woman like you
Aww thank you 🥰
Intelligent, no tattoos,, mechanically skilled and BEAUTIFUL, what else do you need!
OMG girl, I am SOOOO glad it didn't ignite when you were hammering on that steel tank with a steel screwdriver! My niece's husband did that on his Ramcharger and ended up burned over 80% of his body! ALWAYS drain a fuel tank BEFORE removing it!!!!
Yikes!!
I did my tank and used a car jack with small plywood to raise the tank and keep in place . Your younger and stronger then me . Awesome job
That was smart!
Good job. Every one says pull.panel thank you so much iv had to pull my panels off so many time so again good job!
Thank you! Good luck with yours!

This is giving me flashbacks to when I had to drop my tank 😂 - Nice work!!!
Wow that tank was toast...Great Job !
Just today I wrestled the fuel tank out of my 85. I snapped the fuel line when taking it off. It’s all rusty inside. You’re an inspiration to keep working on mine haha
Been there done that! Good job Bronco babe!
Thanks for sharing. I have an '81 Bronco Ranger XLT I'm currently doing a resto on and the fuel system is the first to be replaced.
Hell yah! Congrats and good luck!
Go Bucky!! Thx for the video. Next task to tackle on my ‘79 project.
You guys living in the great state? We’re down by Madison
I used to live in spring green! Then I wised up and moved down south 😝
Awesome video…exceptional work!
I had similar surprises, fuel leak got worse as I dropped the skid plate…mine was on the exhaust side though.
Good thing to find that surprise while replacing it and not going down the road!
When I had a79 Bronco I had the smaller gas tank and added two saddle tanks that were I believe 12 or 14 gallons each, fillers were behind the inner wheel liner. Brought it new for 10,500 out the door, miss that old truck.
"its 4 dollars a can"........totally agree! Great video!

That’s awesome! That’s for the encouragement and keep me posted on progress! Im better at keeping up with my insta so find me there if I’m not here 😊
Want to put one of these as the rear tank in my F150 so every time I go to the pump to fill up both tanks I can never financially recover from it 💪
Hahahaha seriously tho!! It’s all fun and games until it’s time to fill up 💀

Hahaha
@@broncobabeadventures4316 im for real i need a girl that loves that mechanic work lol
Nice job , and that rust paint you used is good paint . Nothing like doing it yourself . Build On
Thanks 👍
"Increase the size and stick it in" lol. Good video keep it up!
Lol! Thanks!
***”Grease the sides and stick it in… that’s what she said… **** Pure gold! LMAO
My f150 76 is leaking so I'm going to do the same. Gracias precuosa.!!!

Thank you and good luck! It’s a fun project 👍🏻
Awesome job 👍 Need to do pretty much the same thing and now I have a reference :)
Have fun!
Great videos!
floor jack..yeah, what does hold it in..bronco magic aura
I have a 79 Bronco great Job!!! like to see people project that im getting to do. one thing have you installed a vapor revovery system into your Bronco prevent it from vapor locking?
Great video!
Thank you!
FYI if you ever tackle another fuel tank, first siphon out all of the fuel.
Then afterwards siphon your neighbors tank to fill your tank all the way back up 😎
Nice video
Boom 😏
"Heidi Ho neighbor."
😂
I need to drop mine. My in tank fuel pump died.
Nice! So your new 33gal is who's kit? Guessing JBG? Looks good fits well too. Good install vid for sure.
Thanks! and yup its from JBG
Awesome, may be buying their later tank for Robert's Bronco IDI swap, thanks for that.
😊❤👍
Hello, I’m wondering if you could do a video on timing, I’m having problems with timing my Bronco…
Does the skid plate get pressed against the tank which over time created the hole in tank? Or is there a gap since it didn't leak until you loosened skid plate. Awesome job putting it all together, I hope to have another Bronco soon and I guess I can use your videos for training.
Had the same thing happen to mine. They rust together and when you remove the skid plate it takes the tank rust with it leaving you with a hole.
Well I guess Matthew answered that. I'm still not sure what happened to my gas tank. It had a pretty substantial dent in it, so wether or not that had anything to do with the leak or not, its seen some shit, lol. Hope you find your Bronco soon! :)
Great Job ! What year is your Bronco- mine is 76
Thank you! She’s a 78
Who's this Cris guy? He sounds gorgeous?
He's alright...
Also, did you like your own comment? I KNOW someone else didnt like that....
@@broncobabeadventures4316 nope someone else liked it cause I'm so great.
nice
Did you check to see if the float level was correct? Mine shows 3/4 tank when it's full, and empty when I have about 10 gallons left in the tank. Mine is a 26 gallon tank.
My float seems to be spot on. When it fill it up, it shows full.
@@broncobabeadventures4316 Good deal. I should have checked mine before I installed it.
your a dream.damn girl..great hair, no tats,that are ruining your skin,blue eyes.
I know its blaspheme but I am pretty sure I can use that tank in my Dodge a108 to gain 12 gallons. Great work regardless.
You can use any tank in any truck if you try hard and believe in yourself 😜
@@broncobabeadventures4316 haha so true... worst case ya toss it in the back with zip ties and run fuel line while wear a fire suit
Haha this isn’t your first rodeo
@@broncobabeadventures4316 chicks dig scars...unless they cover 80% of your body
@broncobabeadventures Hello I’m also working on replacing a fuel tank on my 1983 bronco. What was that other part you put in besides the fuel pump?
It was a sending unit (I think that’s what it’s called) it’s what tells your gauge the level. Cris got it all as a package :)
@@broncobabeadventures4316 oh I see where did y’all buy it from if you don’t mind me asking?
Pretty sure it was Jeff’s bronco graveyard
@@broncobabeadventures4316 thanks for your help 🤗
Is there an insulating pad between the top of the tank and floor board ? No straps to hold the tank up before the skid plate goes on?.
Where did you order your tank from? Where you happy with the quality and fit?
The tank has been great. It was a kit and a Christmas gift so I’m not sure but I wanna say LMC 🤔
Guess it doesn't mount like a 62 pontiac.
I noticed you didn’t use the straps in the new tank, why is that?
I put the straps between the tank and the skid plate. They were less straps and more gaskets. If your thinking actual straps, I didn’t need them because I have a skid plate
How many gallons was it?
It was 19
You are my hero. Do you want to get married😊
Roll up your sleeves get dirty and get it done.
Use your hands arms knees whatever it takes. Big hammer little hammer punch a hole in it but get it done.
And do it all with a smile on your face.
You are awesome!!!
Something you might want to look into is a product called " rust converter" that is not a brand it is just what it is.
What you do is very lightly wire brush things down. And I do mean very lightly cuz you want it to be rusty just not flaky.
Brush on rust converter. It is very thin and goes a long way it's almost like milk. It will turn green and then eventually black and actually turns into a protectant primer. And then you can paint over it or leave it as is.
Word of warning when using rust converter. Do not dip out of the main jug or pour old unused converter back into the main jug. It will contaminate it and ruin it. So only pour into a small container and use as needed.
I'm fixing to subscribe and see how your project goes and maybe it will inspire me to do more with my Bronco.
Good luck. You are awesome!!!
Haha thank you!! I actually used rust converter when I stripped it down for paint, that stuff is amazing! It was so satisfying to see the rust turn black!! 🤩

I’m behind on my videos so I did it but haven’t uploaded the video yet 😊
@@broncobabeadventures4316👍 and that is just as it should be.
The Bronco build first.
The videos when you get around to them.
Love your enthusiasm.👍
Hello! What's that part doing for the tank? At 8:36
Sorry I’m not sure, it all came as a kit
That is a vent tube for the gas tank. On 78 California models and all 79's that would hook up to metal tube that ran along the passenger side frame rail and connected to a charcoal canister under the hood. The 78 federal models vented through the gas cap.
Where did you get the skid plate at?
