Poly Gas Tank

[ben]

what would you a opel qt owner pay for a new poly fuel tank that was correct fit for your gt.
talking to friend of mine about making them

[LegoDominatrix]

If and when pm me cause I might need one fuels been sitting in mine for mroe than 20 years...

gross isn't it?

[69whitegt]

I think ABS would be better than poly. I think it is more commonly use for gas tanks too. Plus its a lot harder type of plastic. I think many people would buy them tho. Just my 2cents

[N61WP]

Be sure to have him build some baffling into it.

"I think ABS would be better than poly"
your right, i meant ABS
baffling ?

[namba209]

The baffling would be for some folks that may want to go with FI later on. The GT tank shape could cause some fuel starvation problems when the tank is 1/4 or less under spirited driving conditions, causing fuel to move away from the fuel outlet in the tank. Another addition coiuld be a return line fitting also for FI conversions.

I'd be interested if it was set up for F.I.

I to would be intreasted if the tank was set up for FI (baffeling andreturn line) and was a fairly simple swap with the stock one.

[hustlerzlife]

Plastic tanks sound pretty good. I'm still waiting for a tank to drop down instead of pulling it through the cabin.

[krewzer]

Keep this thing alive! What's the latest on manufacturing these tanks?

[ben]

talking to them about cost and setup
trying find out what would be a good price
and what's wanted and needed like the baffeling and return line

[krewzer]

Yes, I want to convert to F.I., so baffels and a return line are key!
Thanks,
Wes

[opelnut_1]

needs to be fi compatible. I think you could use a tank set for FI on a carb set up but if you make them for carbs then your limiting them to those only with carbs...

My two cents frame mounted fuel pump
simple well mounted over the supply line (ID of outlet 3/8 or more)
return line dumping into the well

[GT Tim]

That sounds like something I could use.

[gtzero]

Count me in on an F.I. tank!

No one directly answered the question as to "how much would you pay".
My answer $250.00 would be my breaking point.

And to quote others, the tank would be best with a baffle for EFI use (would
still work well on carbureted GTs and it would need the opening for the stock VDO fuel sending unit.

[krewzer]

I too, would like to spend about $250. I understand that short production runs are more costly per unit. I'm looking forward to hearing if these tanks will become available. I might be willing to pay more to replace/ upgrade my original tank with a poly (abs) tank, that could be used for different fuel delivery setups.

[Dale .D]

Most of us,Ok let's say all of us end up paying more than what we'de like to pay!I'd say 250 to 350.But the better question . W.hat would be the real cost of producing this & making a reasonable profit.Don't want to feel gowged

[ben]

really don't care about profit just keeping are great and fun car's going
would like to cover cost's and have two tanks for my car's
it would be made just like the stock one. but fore better fuel line out placement and the baffling. does any know what that should look like have a pic or drawing
yes i am still working on this
