Cheers Andy I will bare that in mind. Making my own tank is easy enough as it will be made to suit my needs, how ever making tanks for other people is another matter. I've been asked a few times about fuel tanks the only problem is I can't keep every body happy as it's more or less a custom part, depending on what rear tub you've got and what electrics you have. So what I've been thinking is four sizes of tank in two different materials with a universal sender hole and either supply a bolt on blanking plate or a new unit pre fitted. I've made tanks for autograss cars so I know how to place the baffles,sump and breather.
Option 1: a book spec tank in either 1-1.2 mild steel or 1.6 ali to fit the book spec rear tub ie steel tubes and ali skin.
Option 2: a book spec tank made taller for longer range steel or ali.
Option 3: a slightly narrower tank book height in either 1-1.2 mild steel or 1.6 ali to suit the Saturn fibre glass tub (few problems here as every body may have done the frame work differently hence my custom problem?)
Option 4: narrow Saturn tank longer range (taller) in steel and ali.
I'm looking to start this around the end of feb, as for price I'll make mine and see how long it takes me to cut,bend and weld together. The more material I buy the cheaper I can get it!
Any thoughts?
