Topic: EFI Tank donor for Lemons Rally
I'm looking to retrofit a different fuel tank into my Opel Kadett to support an EFI conversion and because I don't like the tank it has now, in the right rear corner of the cargo area. With all the fuel tanks you have looked at, do you guys know of a good one that would fit in this space?
Under that flat deck, there is a cavity where I would like to recess a different fuel tank - it's 6-8" deep, I can cut out the floor to set the tank lower, and I can build mounts off the frame rails. I got to looking into universal tanks, and this one from tanksinc looked nice, but I would be into it $400+ to buy one brand new set up for EFI. I would prefer to go the junkyard route.
I used to do a lot with Isuzu Troopers, I had saved a tank for a while thinking I would use it in the Opel, but I may have accidentally sent it to the scrappers. That tank was big at 21 gallons, but I liked how they mounted between the frame rails and the fill tube pointed the correct direction. I would be fine with something in the 16-ish gallon range. I do know a guy with a parts Trooper, so I could get another one if I need. This is what they look like (after being nicely cleaned and painted).
