[QUOTE="Big Bore, post: 101240, member: 760"] Ok so I went down and pulled out a spare SD reservoir I was planning to use to mock some stuff up. The top and bottom gasket are completely different so just stacking is not even remotely possible. Cutting and welding is a very bad idea now that I look at it because there is no way you would get everything sealed properly inside and out. Cutting the bottom off and having a groove machined just like the top is going to be the best way. I'm going to take it to a machinist and see what it might cost to have the groove milled, or I might see if a buddy who has a mill would let me do it, its pretty simple really. That would increase the capacity considerably. Also, I figured out the best place to do the machining would be above the holes for the fuel bowl bolts since there is a block off right above where they go through the reservoir. Took pics but for some reason emailing them to myself didn't work and I'm too tired to figure it out tonight. Oh, and milling it out on the inside is definitely not a possibility there just is no extra material there IMO. [/QUOTE]
