gas tank

[dave kreis]

rpm how many gallons are your tank, if i gave you some demisions for a little bigger tank would the price be out of
sight

 

[RPM]

The price would probably be the same just depends on what you have in mind. A tank 9 x 9 x 31 is 10 gallons. I have those in stock. :lol:

a 10 gallon tank is plenty for a T. even if you are trippin' with it, no mater what your gas mileage is, you are going to want to get out and stretch every 100 miles or so. but hey, that's a small price to pay for driving such a cool car!

I have one of Ron's tanks in my T. He built it to my specs and it's 14 gallons. I spec'ed it to basically completely fill my pickup box, thinking it would be good to have maximum capacity (not having cruised in a T before). Now after three seasons of driving the T, I'm going to have Ron build me a smaller tank. Youngster is right about needing to stop and stretch your legs every once in a while (for me, an hour is about all I can stand, er sit, in the T. The other thing I had not anticipated when spec'ing the larger tank was leaving room in the pickup box for a small tool kit and a folding chair.

If you want to spec your own tank. Here is the formula for figuring out the gallons. Length x Width X Height. That will give you the cubic inches of the tank. Then there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon. Divide the cubic inches by 231 and you will have how many gallons that new tank will hold.

When specing a tank keep in mind our filler necks stand about 2" above the top of the tank. We can make it as tall as you like, if you want the filler to stick above the lid on the box. So you don't have to open the lid to fill er up.

We can also do a flat filler by using a top section for a racing fuel cell.
