Tanks Inc and Holley Hydramat
I'm soon to be setting up my 63 chevyII gas tank for my ls2 swap. I like the Tank's Inc drop in stuff but was curious how it would work in conjunction with the new Holley Hydramat. For those that are familiar with this stuff please share your thoughts. Thanks

I'd say pick one or the other. I realize the Hydromats come in various sizes, but you'd need a pretty small one to fit in the TANKS Inc. fuel tray. Holley's hydomat must work or they wouldn't bother producing and advertise them.
I'd personally just try the hydrmat in the stock tank.

I saw the Hydramat demonstrated at PRI last year. It is insane how well it works. With just the edge of it submerged and the other 95% above the fluid line, it still pulled virtually no air into the fuel line. I cannot recommend it enough; we have sold quite a few and holley offers them in a good array of sizes.

Yes, but if someone is looking at it as being a filter, they may see it as an expensive one. I see it as a fuel management device that can be helpful in winning a race, or eliminating annoying fuel starvation issues that can make an otherwise awesome car unenjoyable to drive. I can think of lots of fuel system parts that eventually need to be replaced and this is just another one that might have to be.

The hydramat IS a prefilter, so I"m guessing it can get clogged.
I don't mind replacing parts and with race/hobby cars one has to expect a higher level of maintenance. But at $500-$600 a pop every 5-10 years I think this is something people should realize before they make that kind of investment. Dropping tanks just to inspect is not a fun job.

I had a Tanks inc tank in my car last year.. Melted #7 in Great Bend Kansas on the 3rd day of Drag week 2014. Call Rick @ http://rickstanks.com/ I have one of his stainless tanks with dual 450 walbros in my 53 Chevy. Boosted 6 litre.. making 750 to wheels. Works flawless. Worth every penny!

Yes i am. The tank did not have good baffling inside to keep fuel around the pump on hard acceleration... hence the lean condition at top of second gear. Last years combo was close to 625 rwhp. so a single 450 would be enough fuel pump to keep it alive. They are "good" cheap tanks if you want to cruise, BUT not for drag racing. Ricks Tanks can do both and do it well.
