Any interest this fall on building a tank?

I'm looking for a tank for a external fuel pump with the typical send and return AN fittings on the back lower bottom with a small drop bump (not sure what the technical name is for that). Same size or larger as what you are building with same filler and vent hook up and a normal GM sender. I've been trying to get a shop to build one for a while with no luck so I figure I'll give you a try and see if you are going to build more. I don't mind waiting if you can do it or want to pass me the info of who does if you don't want to bother with this project anymore. (I'm disabled and have lots of free time lol)

Looking forward to installing this. I still have a number of other items I am working on (6 speed, conversion to Carb, keyless start, Mr. Mikes seats, custom console and a few others) but I will take pics as I install this and post when complete.

Excellent product.....thanks Joe (and Tony) for making this available.

As soon as I pull my tank down (in a week or so) we will know whether we will need a new tank as well. The workmanship looks great but I wonder if these tanks have the baffles in them to prevent fuel starvation under hard turns or acceleration. The shop that makes these is a marine operation and the off season is probably the best time to catch their attention.
The tanks are not inexpensive so if we use them we will want a #6 male AN fitting for the fuel feed.

I haven't heard back about having one built for me yet so don't hold your breath. I'd love to have one made so I can get on building the fuel system I want.

Don't forget one for the return line too. The standard feed line is 3/8" and the return line is 5/16". There isn't really an AN size that translates to 5/16 so making them both -6 (3/8") would be the best.

has anyone gotten a response back yet?

I bought one of these tanks at the beginning of last summer. The tank builder only stocks NPT bungs, so I had 3/8" NPT bungs welded at the top and bottom of the tank for send and return lines and I bought the 0-90 ohm marine sender. I ran black braided -8AN lines for both fuel lines. There was a delay with the sender and it took almost two months to get my tank, but I don't fault Joe or his builder for that. I haven't run the car, but I'd say this tank was worth every penny I paid (~$415 or so shipped). Given where I mounted my pump, a Bosch 044 external, I didn't feel the need for a rear sump. Check it.



If you can get a response out of him, you won't be disappointed.
