Building my own fuel cell for LS swap
Wanting to attempt to build my own fuel cell since I have all the aluminum, break, welder etc here to do it. The Boyd tanks are extremely http://www.fueltankparts.com/replace...3-72-c-10.html and I'm wanting to build something similar, although it will probably end up being just a little more simple. My question is where to find all the fittings to weld on to the tank? I want to run an in tank pump big enough to run my 80lb injectors on a mild turbo build. Where can I buy the fuel pump flange, the threaded portion of the filler neck with cap, and sending unit insert?
Thank for any help |

Godman Hi Performance in Memphis Tennessee has the weld-in tank bungs in aluminum. Pegasus Racing probably does as well. |

Re: Building my own fuel cell for LS swap
5052 aluminum in .090 thickness should be fine, right?

Re: Building my own fuel cell for LS swap
Wow I guess I was searching the wrong key words. After googling "weld in fuel tank flange" and "weld in fuel tank fitting" I have found a million sources. I wasn't using the "weld in" term when I originally searched. Thanks guys
I will update this as a HOW TO when I build my tank next week with links to the fittings I buy and everything. |

Re: Building my own fuel cell for LS swap
More power to ya if you can build your own...Paid over $800 from Boyd myself but that included in-tank pump, fuel sender, roll valve, etc./
