This is what it looks like when not in use. You can see that I also drilled an hole, and put a threaded right angle hose nipple in the gas cap, ad ran the vent house out under the car. Before I made this modification, if the tank was full, and I drove the car over a bumpy road, gas would spew out of the vent hole, and one could strongly smell the spilled gas inside the trunk, when driving. The vent hose modification stopped that problem. I screwed down a piece of flat bar, onto the wooden tank hold down, and put strong rare earth magnets on it. That holds the steel handle of the ball valve on the outlet hose from the pump. I put a LED wand type light there also, because it is dark down inside that tank when filling it, and I can watch the fuel level easily this way. You can see the inlet hose, rolled up and stored on the right, and the pull type pump switch mounted in the wood base, next to where the inlet hose for the pump enters under the tank. I shoved a brass pipe nipple into the end of the hose, and used a brass pipe cap to seal it. I put a rubber disk inside the pipe cap, to make it seal when the cap is hand tight.
The old trusty wooded tank dip stick is laying on the tank also.
