Can't get ahold of feul cell guy. What to do?

I was wanting to order my gas tank for the rear of the truck. I was told that Fuel Cell Guy is tha man to go to but he hasn't returned my PM. Should i wait for him or is there other options i can go with. Does anyone else make great gas tanks? I know the ECE has one but there $800+ and i like the smaller one (copperhead) which is $929. Anyhelp will be appreciated.

PS. This is going in a short bed frame for a 70 c10. Thanks

Haven't used them, but Rock Valley is big with the street rodders and I do believe they will make a tank to whatever pattern you come up with.

PM me your phone number and I will call him and see if he can give you a call.

He did the tank on my flatbed and I definitely am appreciative of his skills and customer service. He took tons of pics as he built my tank - did that without me even asking him to.

Here's a pic of that tank.

I would wait for FCG to respond. It took him a few days to get my initial PM. For what he is asking for a fuel injection tank (with pump) and the fact that I know 100% it will be what i need and bolt right up it seems well worth it! Oh, and his prices INCLUDE shipping!

Re: Can't get ahold of feul cell guy. What to do?

I am going to go FI. What system i don't know yet. Originally i wanted to put an LS1 in but i have been upgrading everything else so far that i might be short some money. I am going to check out those couple links and see what they offer. I know some are out of alluminum and some are stainless. Is it worth extra money to go with stainless?

Yukon Jack i will pm you my # so hopefully i can touch basis with him.

Thanks EveryONE!!!!!

The tank from Brothers is made by No Limit, and is made out of Aluminum. It is on the small side, about 19 gallons, if I remember correctly. We used it in our truck, and it fit well and all. And you can get it with the fuel injection pump installed. When we bought ours, it was about the only alternative to the Blazer/Sub tanks, and just looked so much better. The Early Classic tank is stainless, and actually looks like it mounts up in a better manner than the No Limit tank. Plus, the big one has pretty good capacity.

I have heard that stainless is a better material for tanks, especially if you are going to run alchohol. If I had it to do over, I would have gone with stainless.

As for fuel pumps, the in tank variety is much better, and the almost universal advice is to use a pump from the F bodies and Corvettes(or other LS1 engined cars) or later model trucks (I think 99 and up). You will need 45 to 50 PSI for most FI engines.

Rick's Hot Rod Shop builds high quality stainless tanks either stock replacements or one-off.
