small EFI fuel tanks that hide behind rear seats

[thechuckster]

Callum: not sure about location, but they're all rather largish: Cerifo=65litre, R32=60litre, R33=65litres, the GTRs are even larger.

[briney]

just thinking out loud here, why not just put a 1/2 inch or so outlet at the bottom of the tank, the connect that to the back of an external fuel pump ? vl maybe ? then you have a 40litre swirl pot ? it would make finding a tank easier.

[mattysshop]

you would need to have a decent pre filter for the pump.

Whats a 20L fuel cell worth?

from $100 for 5 gallons?

[thechuckster]

Cruzida: no idea locally - but from somewhere like JEGS they're pretty cheap (as little as $160 USD) - but designed for drag/street use and have no baffles.

Something like this sells for ~$230 USD tho freight would increase that substantially:



briney: (edited) would need some kind of swirl pot to eliminate starvation. car will move around a lot and once the level gets down, it will suck air.

[mattysshop]

have you called a few places like Extreme Custom Engineering who fabricate this sort of stuff all the time to get an approx price?? if you have some measurements in mind... give craig a call 3274 3700

does the above kit from the US come with the float level sender etc etc...

Late Classic Minis (91-2000) have EFI with an in-tank pump. The tanks are pretty compact and take 34 litres. They are not hard to find. But the lines might be too small for a 7m?

[thechuckster]

matty: some local rally guys up here suggest make mockup from cardboard and take to a local fabricator. The TA64 replica had it's tank built for ~$500 a few years back. There's a alloy few fab places up here. When I get the MZ11 in the front yard, I'll pull my digit out and measure up the boot area.

Some of the US kits include senders.


bnicho: thanks for the info - 34 litre would be borderline but interesting to know.

[CrUZida]

You'll pay ~$10/L for a custom alloy tank (for a carby car) and ~$15/L for an EFI one.

Obviously the small you go, the slightly larger that price gets.

Gemini Diesel tank on eBay in this guy's extra bits:

Bit far away for you though!

would it be a relatively simple operation to incorporate one into the bottom of the tank ? weld a simple pot made out of 4 inch exhaust pipe on the bottom ? as a bonus, you would probably hear eric cartman sing "in the ghetto" in your head every time you opened the boot.

[thechuckster]

that's looking like plan C (A is custom tank with ext pump, B is small Efi tank).

Odd that you mention music - a hoping fo fit speaker and a small amp so I can play Ride of the Valkeries (spell) when i drive towards spectator points.

[briney]

ride of the valkyries (think that's how it's spelt.) would be awesome. some guys in a boat didn't steal your surfboard did they ?
