I'm warming up to the idea of the factory plastic fourthgen tanks with an added dual pump setup.
Where do you guys like to get your new fourthgen tanks ?
nasty is 2nd party..look deeper..ya can get the same tank for $90 less
get them from the maker..its faster...and cheaper..
this is who makes them for nasy.. and at a few bucks cheaper..and faster shipping..as they don't have to ship to nasty and then to you..
It's plastic, so less corrosion and it's all new. A few little improvements from of the years.
Everybody complains about the 3rdgen replacement tanks not fitting right.
Direct replacement fuel tank.
14 gallon version for E85,and high horsepower street cars.
Includes new sending unit for stock gauge.
Includes factory filler neck and grommet.
Aluminum construction.
Tig welded.
Designed and built in house
MADE IN USA.
Custom designed proven baffling system works great even at low fuel levels.
Manufacturing bolt in tanks for over ten years.
E85 Compatible
Utilizes factory straps.
Give your High flow pump the fuel it needs.
#12 Female feed #8Female Return #8Female vent standard.
Available with any fitting upon request.
A factory 4th gen tank (the plastic tank) does not have baffles. It has a bucket around the fuel pump that keeps fuel level high local to the pump even when the fuel level is lower in the tank. Even so, fuel is still scavenged from the tank so you don't want the fuel level to go real low regardless.
Sounds like a great tank for sumped then, all but not being stainless.
However I have decided not to go sumped, and instead use a plastic factory tank and work with that.
So when you guys get your factory plastic tanks, what year/model do you specifically ask for?
they make a nice looking tank..fits like a glove. I had mine set up for eng feed. NOS feed.2x12AN with 2x 10an returns..returns/vent is by filler neck,
and drops 10lbs.
top with sending unit placement..

look at the benefits of going with a fuel pump outside the tank..
can you believe summit gets $800+ for this Fuel pump....
one is a back up....but I only paid $180 ea...shipped..it pays to go to SEMA...

I did my own mods to stock tank, here are some ideas. Sizes and components are merely dependent on your application.
My car is for road racing and the occasional street drive.I have -10 rollover valve/vent, -8 fuel lines mostly depending on the HP rating. My pump is no longer in tank for the serviceability aspect. I’ll post more as it progresses, this is far cheaper than buying a cell or an aeromotive tank system. Only disclaimer is your responsible in the proper and safe installation of all these parts.

Have you ever looked inside of the tank for the Camaro? It doesn’t have a sump but it is baffled.
Nope never seen the inside of a Camaro's fuel tank, rather familiar with a Firebirds though, not sumped I know and not all are baffled like the later third gen models. If your going through the hassle of modifying the tank why not go all the way, whether it was you or someone else that welded that bung seems they got the skill to do it, with a sump you, barring fuel pump failure, eliminate fuel starvation with the sump acting like a funnel with the added benefit of the sump catching the debris floating in the tank, seems to me like cheap insurance.
Here’s a little progress of the plumbing. Ready to start making all the rigid lines. The vent/roll over line is -10 and the pressure and return are -8 an all sufficient for a motor over 450 horse.

A -8 feed and return line will be good to like 1100-1200 whp. Probably more tho. Lots of guys do 1100+ whp with -8/-6 feed return lines
Please take a look at recommendations.
Remember these are merely recommendations, but also bear in mind before I even install any fuel line on my car or even purchased anything my engine was built by me and run on the dyno. I know what it makes for power and I know what I need to install for supporting devices to make certain it will still make that power.

Yea definitely build your fuel system to your needs. I run -8/-6 PTFE feed and return lines with dual 340 pumps in tank. My system will support well over 1200 whp on FI
Are you going to run E85 to make the most of your power for the turbo application, cause if so you need even bigger lines.
No e85 where I'm at. I'll be running mixed gas at about 105-108. My lines will still get me there on e85 I'll just use more pressure to keep up or possibly a 3rd inline pump
