Sorry for the delays. I have been out of state for a while.

The tank is from an 02 Camaro SS. I was told that 2000-2002 all used these plastic tanks. It fits really well, but is only around 16 gallons according to my quick measurements.

I trimmed about 1 inch from the inside of the bottom flange of the frame on each side. I made stainless straps for mounting, and moved the rearmost frame cross brace back a few inches and welded it in place.

Thanks for the info on the tank! you say only 16 gallons but at 18-20 mpg, that should give pretty good range. For me in my 4.8 that would give me about 8 days daily driving. ;):chevy:

Thanks for the info on the tank. I guess i'll have to pass on that one. Cant trim my frame because I have a frame mounted hitch, and one inch from each side would probably leave my a$$ sitting on the interstate the first bump I'd hit towing the trailer. Got me excited though. Nice build also.

I am also wondering what wiring harness you used. A modified stock one or a custom
one?
thx
