GEN III EFI/Fuel Tank Questions
To all of you who have installed fuel injection into your 67-72, what type of tank setup are you using? I have seen a number of different variants from CPP, ECE, etc... What else is out there? I do not really want to spend a lot of $ on the tank alone. Rick's Hot Rod Shop quoted over $1000.00 for just the tank! Lets see pics... Any ideas?

Re: GEN III EFI/Fuel Tank Questions
I am using my stock tank with an in-tank pump. Mounted the regulator just outside the tank and ran 1 fuel line up to the motor. Inexpensive and easy!

Re: GEN III EFI/Fuel Tank Questions
What do you do about low fuel starving the engine on corners?

Re: GEN III EFI/Fuel Tank Questions
i've saved all the info on ackattack's camaro tank install and fender widening, and plan to use both on my build. this is great and economical information for the DIYers like most of us. i don't like to farm anything out if i can help it. great stuff "Ack".

Re: GEN III EFI/Fuel Tank Questions
Call Tanks and get their universal poly truck tank. It fits between the rear rails and you just have to slide the that last crossmember back. The tank is only $215 and the LS pump is another $215.
So that is $430 for everything! Tell John, Josh at Buckaroo sent you.

Re: GEN III EFI/Fuel Tank Questions
All those problems of retro fitting in another tank or building one with baffling and in tank pump are not a problem if you go with a mechanical pump.
See: http://www.racepumps.com/ While a little pricey it sure solves a whole lot of problems. |
