Author	Topic:   Montauk Gas Tank
jdbrassord	posted 04-30-2005 05:01 PM ET (US)         I am installing a new Tempko gas tank under the cosole seat of my stock 1984 Montauk. This new 13 gallon tank is approximately 15 inches high and I have about 14.5 inches clear under the seat. Does anyobody have any words to the wise about how to raise the seat to get the necessary clearance? What kind of shims are recommended and how much higher can I safetly raise the seat. Many thanks for your replies!!!!

I also thought Tempo changed the height specs on the Ultra PBW 13 to reflect the lower profile caps and now sells the tank with them...If so you may be able to get the caps for free depending on where you got it.
