I am in contact with a company about getting a reproduction aluminum fuel tank made and am curious who else is interested in a new tank. I have no pricing information right now as we are still working on a the specs, pricing & lead time. Unfortunately the fabrication shop that deals specifically with custom tanks is not local to me although I do have feelers out to local shops at the moment. If you are interested please post up with any comments or suggestions you may have. I need a fuel tank within the next 2 months if Im going to have my car ready for watkins glen in june so Im pretty motivated. Once I have my tank installed I will have all the details sorted for a group buy.
Working Specs:
Fit in the stock location
May require new fuel tank straps
Will probably reuse the fuel level sender
Will not be an exact replica of the tank
May have a capacity bump just for ease of construction
Factory filler neck location
Fuel Feed & Return lines off sender, rollover valve for fuel tank vapors
Ideas I was kicking around:
Increase the width of the tank with a slanted bottom to allow for clearance for a diffuser
Have a wider fuel sender so more pumps can be installed on it
Foam for the tank to prevent fuel slosh
Link to the shop Im talking to.
