  While I never had a problem with "snagging" the "bottom of the tank" pickup, I made a protective plate this past spring while I was doing my usual winter projects on my car.  

The pictures at the following sites show the bottom of the tank "plumbing" and then the protective skid plate installed.

I have since drilled holes in the plate to provide for increased air flow.  I may eventually "play around" with putting a fan in the plate to increase air flow even more.

      2) The Pantera goes off road at Silver State or another ORR at high speed   and IF that happens I will have more then the bottom of the Pantera to worry   about. ;-]>    Still I agree it is a viable concern and always appreciate Jack's support   and input.        

  That's a very real possibility.   The thing to do is to fabricate a removable   piece of armor plate (thick aluminum or thinner steel would work) that would   attach to the underside of the chassis with sheetmetal screws and protect the   fuel line and bottom of the tank.   It wouldn't have to be overly large or   heavy; just big enough to do the job.    Mike      **************  Start the year off right.
