Anyone have install pics of a 1969 Nova Tank??
I did a search but didn't find anything. I know the 69 Camaro tank has been used but a local fella told me he used a 69 Nova tank and it fit better, doesn't hang down and has the filler behind the plate like the Camaro ones. Unfortunately he sold the truck so I can't take a look at it.

i've heard that too, but it's from someone that you can only believe 1/2 of what they say, so someone please put our rumors to a rest

Re: Anyone have install pics of a 1969 Nova Tank??
It depends what nova the tank is from, here are the specs:
•1968-69 Chevrolet Nova Fuel Tank •18 Gallon •38" x 19-3/8" x 7-3/8" •1970 Chevrolet Nova Gas tank •18 Gallon •38" x 19-3/8" x 7-3/8" •1971-72 Chevrolet Nova & Pontiac Ventura Fuel Tank •18 Gallon •38" x 19-3/8" x 7-3/8" •1969 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (square tank) •18 Gallon •39-3/8" x 20-7/8" x 7-3/4" The Nova tanks have solid, long filler necks that would need to be cut at the base to shorten the distance to the license plate frame. That's an easy task for a new tank. I assume the difference in models is the diameter of the filler neck, as they are different part numbers. TMI also sells tanks set up for fuel injection that already has the filler neck cut off and attached with a rubber hose grommet. Camaro's also have notched gas tanks towards the front on either side. Hope this helps. |

Found this through a google search:

So, they're essentially the same tank.
