Seabees,
Thanks to today's technology I turned my small lap top upside down
and notice that you may have several of the heat shields missing. Or maybe this was a picture where you had them removed? So that could be causing some heat going up to the fuel tank area. Maybe you could find another parts tractor or get tins from someone on here to reduce the heat problem.
Thanks for posting and good luck with your tractor, it looks to be a good one.
Regards,
Chris
