Wow that's a stunning bit of kit.... =P~ What's the capacity? Similar to the stock? Will it be bolted in?

Yes stock capacity. It will bolt in around the edge with some thin rubber strip as a gasket.

Very nice Blue, plenty of thought in the tank design....

Did Gary fab it ?

Gary was busy so I had Alloy Racing Fabrications make it. Good price, easy to deal with and done on time, they are more than happy to do one offs.

It is nicely made. The bling brigade will be throwing there hands up in horror, it will be painted in black stone chip, I don't want to see it.

Wow, that looks really nice. What are the benefits to just surface mounting a fuel cell, other than it looking much cooler...

You get the weight down low, further back; and you still have Trunk space.

I did it on the '67 Dart and I am sure Kev did it in the Taxi....

So it is like the best of all worlds kind of option, nice.

I was originally planning to sink a fuel cell into the floor, but the sizes that are available just didn't work for me at all. Designing my own tank meant I didn't have to compromise, apart from having fuel lines in the boot which I don't like, but my fuel pump choice dictated that.

Yes it has baffles. Spent a couple of hours bolting it in and working out how best to route the lines, mount the filter etc.
