Fuel Tank Shield Reduces Evaporation
![]() |
If outside temperature is 100?, temperature under the white metal shield is just 60?. Allspach welded 1-ft. long brackets between the tank and metal strips attached to the underside of the sheet metal shield. The shield covers about 2/3rds of the tank.
He also attached a large hose holder on one end of the tank that's made from sections of a 24-in. tractor rim. (Allspach stresses that he made the modification to a brand new tank with no fuel in it. It could be very dangerous to weld onto an older tank that might have fuel residues in it.)
