Looks real nice, but for race cars its way too big. I think you would sell quite a few tanks if you also made one about half the size.

Looks awesome though............

Smaller in what dimension? I could cut the length in half and get you 7.5 gallons. Everything else would remain the same. That way we could carry two sizes as the standards. Ill get pricing worked out for that size asap

Very nice work!!

What I would love to see is a 5 gal. fuel cell that you can fill up from the factory location and is located over on the driver's side which will allow room for the installation of some wheelie bars on an F-body! I am not too crazy about pouring fuel from a can into the opening of a fuel cell while holding the can over the hatch area.

I maybe dreaming though.

Pricing on the smaller cell would run 308.99. All the same features/options as above, just half the size

Am I the only one who looked at that and thought about using it for extended range? (which, in a lot of these cars means two hundred miles instead of one LOL)

I thought the same thing. If you had a mostly stock car you could possably extend your highway range to 500+ miles 30 galons of gas is heavy though

We can do custom inlets/outlets, but we are going to keep the cell size/shape fixed.

PM me!

Plastic weighs less than aluminum likely but if you have ever replaced your own fuel pump something like this would make things a lot easier. Does the stock fuel level sender work with the cell?

There are no provisions for the stock sender.
