Probably the biggest thing I can think of would be pump options. A standard and more HP pump. My engine puts out 550 and I would have to upgrade the pump for more flow to properly fuel my engine.

a while back we changed our standard EFI pump to the aeromotive stealth 340. That pump will support that HP no Problem.

We are currently finishing a new tank with the A1000 which will be ready to sell in the next week. This tank will be good to 1200 HP.

Very nice. I guess I should have just read a little bit closer. Great.

I bought a 72 blazer tank repo and was planing on plumbing it to my taillight or marker light. Since that time I feel it would just be easier to cut the bed floor and go straight up with one of these tanks. Anyone have pictures of how they have plumbed these tanks. Thanks!

Also do these come with sending unit etc to work on a 72?

automagic67 · 01-15-2012, 11:45 PM

What material is everyone making their fuel lines out of? I want to run hard lines but the cheapest is steel which has a chance to corrode the aluminum tank, I could use aluminum but some say it can crack under vibration, or stainless which is spendy and I have heard it can be difficult to work with. Anybody have any input?

darthwall · 01-15-2012, 11:55 PM

I did brass fittings off the tank with a coated steel line hard line the whole system in 3/8" complete with return line off the preasure regulator worked out real nice. SS is nice but you will probably have to get someone to do the flaring for the fittings

Wait a bit if you can, David usually does a Group Buy in Spring. not sure when tho. He also give us members an all the time 10% ( I think) off. call him and ask him to make sure though

austin60c10 · 01-19-2012, 12:53 PM

Hello all, has anyone put one of these in a 60-62? I'm planning to order soon and wondered what measurements you gave him or if you just got the standard tank and made brackets I know my frame is about 4 inches wider than a 63-72. I thought I ran across someones plans for a 62 but can't find it now

**Clyde65** · 01-21-2012, 01:28 PM

You can contact David and he will make it as wide as you want it, just give him the dimensions/drawing.

lownslw64 · 02-03-2012, 01:24 PM

suscribed, waiting for the group buy. need a efi tank for a 64 swb.

todd99 · 02-09-2012, 01:04 AM

Hi Boyd,

I am looking to upgrade my 71' longhorn with a new fuel tank and I would like a quote. I am running efi with an external pump. How much would a tank cost that I could mount between the frame rails? Would it come with a sender (with a return line)? How much without a sender? And how long would it take to manufacture?

Thanks,

-Chris
