Rear sump fuel tank

[DragulaGN]

I think I recall some one saying that there was a vendor or a company that made a stocl location rear sump tank for our beloved G-bodies. Anyone have a clue?

I'm new to the turbo buick thing, but what I'm going to do is buy a sump & a tank to make my own sumped tank.

My car came with a fuel cell in the trunk, but I want the trunk back, so I'm going to keep the external fuel pump, but go with a sumped stock tank.

You can buy the sumps & tanks new, all you have to do is attach the sump to the tank.

Tony Dequick made several units as you mentioned. Needless to say unless you find a used one of the few made you are out of luck. But one could be easily fabricated.

Adding a sump is bad.. this was covered a while back.

They end up rusting and causing more trouble than they're worth.

I'm willing to take that chance, I've been running a sumped tank in my LS1 car for 3 years now with no issues at all. I'm more worried about the foam in the fuel cell that I'm running now breaking down & clogging my filter than I am about a sumped tank rusting.

I'll have to agree with JayC. Also, remember that your fuel pump should be lower than the sump to keep it's prime. Brian

Yep, they can even submerge an Aeromotive fuel pump in it.

I think Ted from Epitome has one. The ones from Rick Hot Rod Shop are made out of stainless. I think Ted has/had one for sale.
