Looking for those that have a fuel tank from FCG. Does he have a website?

Brad · 12-19-2008, 10:32 PM

Check out Sacto Jims build thread. He had a sweet one made up.

What did it run you?

Brad · 12-19-2008, 11:11 PM

I'd sure love to have one just like that!

**SactoJim** · 12-21-2008, 06:06 PM

LuckyHenriksen · 12-21-2008, 10:15 PM

I cant wait to see what mine looks like

72BlckButy · 12-21-2008, 10:24 PM

SactoJim, that is one killer tank. I wouldn't mind having a copy of the plans for in the future.

thirdstreettito · 12-21-2008, 10:37 PM

Jim, what is the capacity of yours?

theyammieguy · 12-21-2008, 11:41 PM

I'd like to have a copy as well.

**SactoJim** · 12-22-2008, 12:36 PM

Here ya go......this is the plan that I gave Mark to build from. Tank holds almost 24 gallons. I didn't indicate fill location, return, or vents....figure they can be places as needed.

Also after getting the tank done and posting it on here, a few members pointed out that it would be a good idea to vent both sides of the tank because of the notch for the crossmember....I did.

LuckyHenriksen · 12-22-2008, 12:39 PM

Jim why is your tank built so creatively and not just square?

**SactoJim** · 12-22-2008, 12:42 PM

The chamfers give a little more exhaust clearance if you're running exhaust all the way to the back and the notch gives me a few more gallons of fuel. Tank holds almost 24 gallons which is quite a bit more than most aftermarket tanks that don't hang below the rear bumper.
