Rear gas tank conversion
Just wanted to see what tanks you guys use. Any pics are welcome! Just trying to get some ideas for mine. I looked at early classics tank, holy crap they are proud of that thing.

Re: Rear gas tank conversion
Boyd aluminum EFI tank. With pump inside. Good quality product. Their newer design has rounded edges so looks even better than my older design. I like mine though.

Re: Rear gas tank conversion
I heard you can use an early camero tank. It fits were the spair tire goes and the filler ends up behind the license plate so you would need a flip down plate from another car. I found a new tank on rockauto.com for $80.00. Thats what im thinkin of doing.

Re: Rear gas tank conversion
I went with Classic Performance Products aluminum tank. Doesn't hang too low and it tapers up.

Re: Rear gas tank conversion
All are good choices. We offer the Boyd Welding tank which many of the members have been happy with, and they have an affordable price. They are available in both EFI and Carb setups.

Re: Rear gas tank conversion
69 or 70 mustang tank, just put one in my 51 and it was 2 pieces of angle iron and $45 for the used tank and it is 20 gallons. only thing is ford senders read backwards of gm. but that was the cheapest and easy thing i have done yet.
