well what was i gonna do with the fuel supply.. been rackin my brain for days.. i didnt want a fuel cell in trunk like i did before.. i wanted to oringinal tank back in the car.. more trunk space.. etc.. so i came up with a redneck solution.. I do a lot of a/c for houses.. so i choped up a r-22/freon can in half..And going to cut/weld in a 1/2 inch coupling in the can.. it'll work for a fuel sump.. dont kno how low its gona hang .. and for the top im using a cap,incase i have to add another 255 walbro in there ..or change out old one. i used some shet metal of old air handler..i scraped awhile ago...i had to have a flat surface to mount the cap..i can still use the original sending unit.. im debating on making a removable trap door above the freeon tank.. i could easily remove two bolts , from access where cap is ..to work on adding/removing fuel pumps..

I like it.. I hope your pass side plugs are easier to change then mine! I had to change mine on the dyno one time... SUCKED!

DO NOT PAINT THE FREON TANK! Let me know when you want to come down to sarasota and turbo the caddy. very cool build

I used an external fuel pump... I'd go that route before doing the home made sump
I started with a Walbro 255 but after a couple of those failing I have changed to a Bosch 044

yes i made very sure i could get to the plugs easily... i had to chnge them out one time on the dyno toowith my old turbo 5.3 setup.. pain in a$$.. this time there very easy to get too.. i dont think im goin to paint the freon tank. ..like to get reactions from when they see it.. ..i havnt had any problems with a walbro intank.. had them before they ran great.. .i bought a 3/8 threaded steel tube.. cutting/welding it in freon tank. ...i will be happy to turbo your caddy..seen one run on the dyno/youtube made low 600's to the wheels..stock.with upgraded fuel system..it was a 2010 model..

Please take that crap off and do it right. Here is a nice overflow tank kit that may work:



There are a lot of other tanks out there.
