Building my own fuel cell for LS swap
 
Wanting to attempt to build my own fuel cell since I have all the aluminum, break, welder etc here to do it. The Boyd tanks are extremely http://www.fueltankparts.com/replace...3-72-c-10.html and I'm wanting to build something similar, although it will probably end up being just a little more simple. My question is where to find all the fittings to weld on to the tank? I want to run an in tank pump big enough to run my 80lb injectors on a mild turbo build. Where can I buy the fuel pump flange, the threaded portion of the filler neck with cap, and sending unit insert?
Thank for any help

Godman Hi Performance in Memphis Tennessee has the weld-in tank bungs in aluminum. Pegasus Racing probably does as well.

5052 aluminum in .090 thickness should be fine, right?

Wow I guess I was searching the wrong key words. After googling "weld in fuel tank flange" and "weld in fuel tank fitting" I have found a million sources. I wasn't using the "weld in" term when I originally searched. Thanks guys
I will update this as a HOW TO when I build my tank next week with links to the fittings I buy and everything.

"weld in tank bung" would achieve the same results

More power to ya if you can build your own...Paid over $800 from Boyd myself but that included in-tank pump, fuel sender, roll valve, etc./
