Sure if you can find someone to make them. We build custom aluminum tanks because thats what Tony was setup to do since he has been making aluminum marine tanks for many years. Its not in the cards for us to make a plastic tank right now but feel free to offer one if you can make it.

Bump, still making these. Seems this thread gets forgotten quickly, I cant imagine $300 is too much to spend for a completely rust free brand new aluminum tank. The old ones are getting harder to find and we can custom make one of these for you in a matter of a week or so.

Interested in one for a 87 2.5l bone stock. Let me understand a few things first. What changes or mods would be required to fit? Am I understanding it correctly, are you offering 2 different sizes? The stock capacity tank is fine for us. Read the threads on this and seems this tank would be best for swapped motor applications.
What fuel pump and sender set up would you recommend for a stock 2.5L?

Good questions, guess I should clarify where we are with the tanks. We only have 1 tank design, it is a culmination of what we have learned from customers early on. The tank itself is just shy of 13 gallons and the only modifications it takes to install is to either redesign the straps or figure out some other means of holding the tank up. Past customers have come up with a few creative ways to do this. Our regular design has provisions to use the stock sending unit and fuel pump as well as fill and vent tubes. The tank fits the same in early and later year cars.
As far as using it on a stock motor, I don't see any problem with it. I originally made the tank because mine was rusted and I couldn't find a good one nearby. The bigger capacity was just a bonus of the design. I made the tank to be able to use all stock components except straps, which were also rusted. Now, we do offer to modify the tank if you choose to change to NPT fittings or other pipe attachments. What we have done in the past is one customer wanted an external pump so we just put a suction and return fitting at the back of the tank and used a marine sending unit. Simple mods won't cost extra except the parts.
If you have a rusted tank and want a good operational vehicle for years to come this tank is the answer, high performance and stock cars Both can benefit from this investment and provides flexibility in fueling never seen before for our Fieros.

Bump to the top.
This is a viable option for those of us who need a replacement for 86-88 11.2 gallon tanks.

Thanks for the bump. Keep in mind that this tank fits all year fieros the same. The design difference from 84-86 and 87-88 didn't change the tunnel in the car where the tank mounts. Alternative methods of holding the tank up are required for any year, my car has the cross brace holding the tank up for 8 months without issues now and that cost me nothing, but people have come up with ways of extending the stock straps or making their own straps, whatever works for the buyer.

You might have another buyer sometime soon. Im doing a motor swap and want to try to use the fuel pump and sender from my donor car. I would need a different setup for the lock ring. Ill get in touch when im to that point. Thanks! [This message has been edited by Goldenfoot05 (edited 12-26-2011).]
