Fair enough, though I'd expect the tank to be vented (and/or run a vented cap) and so wonder about the pressure build up?
Only asking as I recently had a one-off custom bike tank I made blown up like a balloon by some dick who was supposed to be doing a lining for my client - 50 hours of work destroyed in seconds....
I test tanks I make by standing for 24 hours with water in them (prior to lining). If you feel pressure is needed, be careful with that air line - a couple of pumps from a hand/foot pump should be more than enough

Re: relocating petrol tank on 56 chevy pickup
true tank will be vented
but rather do the needful from the beginning then have a issue later
cause vented tanks can still block up like you mentioned

Hi All,
This is great I want to relocate my tank as well in my 1968 F100 Custom.
I will get the tank drawn and build!
Great Stuff!

Hi guys,
I have 54 Chevy pickup. And my tank was moved from behind the seat to under the bin. In fact I just changed from stainless to aluminum. And the stainless is for sale.

If everything fails, just keep on rodding

Hey Chevy, what is the size of the tank? Will check if it fits in my 68 model?
