Re: Aftermarket or fabricated fuel cell in the stock location
Yeah, I remember seeing that after I modded my trunk to take a standard 15 gallon cell. Made me reconsider if I did the right choice, but I also shaved my gas door, so there was no turning back.

With a price tag at almost $4000 I'd have done the same thing you did
Re: Aftermarket or fabricated fuel cell in the stock location
14gal tank with baffles..anything ya want..this drops 12 to 15lbs off the car as well..(a true BOLT IN) tank. YES you use your stock tank straps shown. you will bend them at the corner of the tank for fitment. done with a marker and your hand..you will need 2" longer strap bolts..I did..
ya thinking about something like this? Pump in tank? pump not in tank..works and comes with a GM sending unit (for your fuel gouge) price tag starts in the $650 and up.. bolt in..

Re: Aftermarket or fabricated fuel cell in the stock location
Looks like a nice tank. Their website indicates it is a 13 gallon, not 14 like you posted. I have no idea which is correct, but it's a shame it is so small. I would wish for at least stock capacity. I would never get a smaller tank and then run E85. It's just not easy enough to find reliably.
Re: Aftermarket or fabricated fuel cell in the stock location
mine is 14 gal. they would add more by making it wider. as they could add almost 5" to ea end.. but I also ordered mine before they included the fill neck..(2 years ago). and added a few thing. inside parts..
Re: Aftermarket or fabricated fuel cell in the stock location
YO. That is pimp. I was going to make a tank, but there is no way I can replicate or exceed that for ~$700. Did they send you the filler neck/hose too, or did you have to source that? My sumped, stock, steel tank is le tired.

Re: Aftermarket or fabricated fuel cell in the stock location
none foam filled (it falls apart in a few years) this is traditional baffled I think its a better way to go..whats nice is the pick ups are at the [size=13px]very[/size] bottom. so its easy to flush out any crap that gets in your tank.. like some dirt bag putting his chew in the gas nozzle.(seen a goober do that) if you order one ask them to make sure you have a sump. for you pick ups.. mine did not.. my fitting for the 2 12an O ring type ran $100 (crazy) with a sump it will clear the trunk wall.. and you will have lots of room. the pic below shows the fitting..$49ea. get sumps and use a standard O ring fitting $12

Good call, That looks annoying as F to deal with. I have a sump now (with -12 outlets), and it's SUPER easy to access.
