Metco Wheel Well Fuel cell tank

[Phoneguy]

I've had Metco's fuel tank in my trunk since about 2005 along with my battery. Just make sure you don't have leaks, vent it to the outside with a roll-over vent valve and you'll be fine.

Vern, did you ever get your 9 second slip?

Nah. In 2022, early 2023, I had issues with the 200-4R not being able to hold the engine several times. The car's been on jackstands ever since. It's getting a TA engine, 4L80e and a Holley ECU. Give me a couple years and I'll get that 9 second slip!

Hi there. That sounds encouraging! Can you send me some more information and maybe a few pictures? It appears you were able to "Make it happen!" Did you use "fire wall " to protect cabin area? As "TR custom parts" has suggested? Let me know. Thanks very much. This is what I was looking for, someone with a "proven/working set-up." P.S. what is a "Roll-Over Vent?"

I don't have a firewall, but it's always best to have any safety systems in place to protect you and your passengers from getting killed. Also, just to clear things up, I'm not using the Metco tank as an extra tank just to have more gas in the car.

But....IF you wanted to set it up without any fuel transfer pumps, you could set it up like this. It requires you to put a fuel cross-over hose from one tank to the other tank. Plus, you MUST disconnect the vapor canister vent hose off the top of your factory sender. Then run a separate hose to use as the vent for that tank.
