In this part of the 1945 Willy's MB restoration series we're ready to assemble the fuel system.
Fuel Tank, Fuel Pump, Fuel lines, it all gets put together and installed.
I rebuilt the fuel pump 8 years ago and it was completely restored at that time. It is a CJ-2A pump, as the entire engine is a CJ replacement engine.
The fuel tank is an Omix-Ada replacement and I can't recommend it at all. That tank fought me the entire time, incorrectly sized fuel sender hole, incorrectly sized for the body, and the fuel line fitting barely cleared the body cut out. I would have given up on it if it weren't so expensive and already purchased years ago.
Fuel lines are for a late built 1945 Willys MB without the firewall fuel strainer. The were purchased from Ron Fitzpatrick Jeep Parts and are very high quality.
The only filtration the jeep will have is the brass screen in the fuel pump.
