i think its about 16-20 pound savings...ls1 tank prolly weights about 8 pounds dry...lt1 probably about 30-35

 

Is a v6 plastic tank the same as an LS1 plastic tank?

 

We need mo info!!

 

the sender is in the middle of each (far as I know) the float arm connects to it

as far as the ohms of each think Magnus once told me ls1 is 90 ohms empty IIRC

my ls1 tank weighed 20# dry guts removed (standing it on end on a bathroom scale lol)

I'm not finishing until I'm 100% sure I can run the return line and still vent w/o it burping or anything like that

 

I just weighed my LT1 tank a few minutes ago. WITH pump and guts inside, it weighs right around 30 lbs.

I was thinking an LS1 tank WEIGHS 20 lbs, NOT gives a 20 lbs weight savings. I was thinking therefore 10 lbs savings.

However, I just read fast's post. If an LS1 tank weighs 20 lbs WITHOUT bucket and pump, then that sucks. It means swapping tanks probably results in a whopping ~5 lbs reduction. ****.

 

I finally found the source I read a few years back when I Googled "f-body weight reduction list." The "Colonel" of LS1Tech compiled a list of weight reduction mods based on the testimonials of other members, so no one should blame him for inaccurate information.

Here's a link to the list:

from what I was told back when the plastic tank hold 1 more gallon of fuel so if you lose 5# and then put in another gallon your car actually weighs a couple #s more LMAO

 

Doesn't gas weigh 8 pounds per gallon?

 

OK, that makes sense. How removable are these things or do you know? I am hoping to pick one up at the junkyard without having to buy another bucket.

 

Interesting, I remember hearing about this 4yrs ago when I had my old lt1 car.
