Anyone running a custom aluminum gas tank? I am looking at getting one made and just wanted to see some pics and get some thoughts/suggestion on what I should try and get made to get a better tank than stock. As of right now I am looking at getting a tank made with a sump with AN fittings welded in for the fuel supply and return line. Not sure what to do about the fuel sender yet. I also want to get either plates installed or some sort of mounting brackets for the aeromotive fuel pump and filters. Please post pics if you got.

Nasty Performance makes one. Its technically for a 4th gen, but it will fit, you need the 4th gen filler assembly.

It fits ok, the 3rd gen tank straps are short though. It uses a tube style sending unit, has 2-1/2 FNPT outlets in the sump, a 3/8" FNPT return and 1/4"FNPT vent. It doesn't play nice with you exhaust or heat shields, you will have to modifty things a bit.

The only complaint i have is they apparently dont baffle the vent connection. So fuel can slosh out unless you get creative.




there are mounting provisions on the driverside for a fule pump, but i dont know which pump is sopposed to fit there. I though the a1000, but no.

SOMEWHERE in Neils book (can't call it just a "thread" anymore.... ) is pics of his.
