Unless Fran is planning a surprise change, it's a wet sump - are you referring to the tank on the passenger (left) side? That's the fuel surge tank.
Best Regards,
Jim
Whoops! Thanks for that info.

Went to the freight terminal and picked up my 4 post lift that was ordered in January. It is possible to do it all without any assistance I'll get started on assembly tomorrow.
I'll get started on assembly tomorrow.Jim, That will be a good job during this waiting period. I waited almost 6 months to get my new lift delivered.
It is possible by yourself, but an extra set of hands on occasion certainly doesn’t hurt. I put together a 4 post 15,000 lb alignment rack and a 4 post 12,000 lb oil change lift. A lot of it by myself, but there certainly were times I needed help. I also installed 3- 7,000 lb asymmetrical 2 posts and 2-9,000 lb asymmetrical 2 post lifts all in the same building. Each time I learned of a better way.
By the way, you said at one point, your floor coating was something used I believe in military airplane hangers. Would you perhaps have a supplier part number I could try and locate.
Thank You !!!

Brian,
I used Armor Garage 2 part epoxy (in 2012 it was ARM707X), but they have a very informative website at www.armorgarage.com
I did the white with clear topcoat in the detached garage and a tan with flakes that resembles granite in the attached garage. Both have held up well for over a decade now. You can chip it if you drop a heavy wrench from height, but if you take the time to do a good prep on your concrete, it should outlast us old guys!
