Post subject:  Fuel tank options
Hi everyone

Im just looking for some different fuel tanks that people might have seen or fitted to go with my vtec conversion something from a small car

Also how hard are right hand tanks to come bye are they expensive and hard to set up with fuel injection.

Thanks
Steven :D

easy option is to modify your tank for efi by plumbing in a return line from the fuel rail.

You could always get a rover mini tank that is already modified for efi, they also have a intank pump which would work great for a pre pump for a bigger pump.

Right hand tanks are very hard to come by in good condition, expect to pay around $300-$400 for one if they ever come up for sale.

Id personally go a rover efi tank from a mini wrecker like brickworx, they are a bigger takn then what we got too.

Get a MPI Rover Fuel tank. So much easier with regard to plumbing and what not. They are probably a larger capacity too.

Yes they are exactly the same..just wider..probably the same as LS long range tanks?

Brickworx wants $330 for one..plus shipping...

I think that's a bit too much...i mean $200-250 maybe...he's the only one you can get them from though in Oz though..that's why :roll:

Maybe if we do a group buy? whose up for a EFI tank? :lol: ...

Yea..he had one starting @ $200 and it never sold..

Hey Guys,

I've gone with a fuel cell in the back its cheaper new than a used Rover tank is. And all the fitting are already there. Only downside is you need to get a seperate fuel gauge. Also you can fill it from the boot... cleans up the look of the backend :lol:

just m2c

Heres a setup, ideal for racing and easy access to rear shocks or anything else needed.
