 Having added Mr. Gasket's...  Having added Mr. Gasket's Titan-Lite sound absorption material to the aluminum panels in the car and hearing firsthand how much quieter the panels were, we thought adding some of the Titan-Lite to the fuel tank would deaden some of the fuel slosh and fuel pump noise. The Titan-Lite easily conforms to the many angles of the tank stamping, as seen here.  A quick shot of black paint...  A quick shot of black paint on the fuel-tank mounting straps and they'll be hidden from view under the car. We also picked up a used fuel-tank plastic cover (factory installed on the Mustang to protect the tank from road debris) from All Mustang Recycling for the project. With the straps and cover in place, it's simply a matter of putting the tank inside the cover and carefully lifting the complete assembly to the frame for mounting.  Using the hardware provided...  Using the hardware provided in the kit, the fuel-tank straps are attached to the frame, securing the tank.  Don't forget the plastic end...  Don't forget the plastic end caps for the vertical tubes on which the tank lip will be resting. You don't want metal-to-metal contact.  While a stock Mustang fuel...  While a stock Mustang fuel filter can be used, we picked up one of Mallory's 5-micron fuel-filter setups (PN 3501M; $129) with dual inlets and outlets, which allows two fuel-pump feeds, if required. We found a suitable mounting spot over the right rear suspension.  To mount the filter assembly,...  To mount the filter assembly, we used riv-nuts because through-frame mounting was too bulky and tapping screws/bolts wasn't secure enough.  The riv-nut installs the same...  The riv-nut installs the same way as a rivet in a drilled hole, but once the riv-nut is seated by the tool, you have a threaded hole to mount something to.  We then used stainless bolts...  We then used stainless bolts from Totally Stainless to mount the filter assembly.  The Mallory fuel filter uses...  The Mallory fuel filter uses O-ring fittings. These are not pipe thread and do not require any additional sealer. Depending upon the planned line size, you'll need the proper AN "dash" size fitting. In this case, we're using -6 hose, so we chose Mallory 30806 -6 adapters (the filter housing is set up for 3/4-16 / -8).
