Stainless stock replacement gas tank without baffle, does it exist?

[d0n_3d]

I'm going with a external pump and sump setup but want to maintain the stock appearing gas tank. Is there a stainless tank out there that won't rust and doesn't have the internal baffling?

Is this for another E85 test run ??:biggrin:

I believe the one you can buy on E-bay is baffled for about $175. It's galvanized. You could clear it.

That ebay gas tank is regular steel...not stainless. I thought that price seemed low for a stainless unit. The search continues...anyone?

Here's one

Probably a regular steel tank, though. I couldn't tell by the description. The carbed version would not have the baffle, though.

LOL, he is looking for a STAINLESS STEEL gas tank.

I tried finding one myself and the only people who were willing to do it was Ricks Hot Rod Shop. I had them make one for my 69 GTO ( blow through E85 in progress ) and with a baffled sump, stainless straps and stainless pump hangar it was $900.

Throw on a Magnafuel 500 and you are ready to make some major Corn Power. :biggrin:

Wow that's a little more than what I wanted to spend for a gas tank...even stainless. E85 is very plentiful around here and I'd love to be able to run it, thus why I was looking for a stainless tank. Oh well...I'm sure someone will make one after my car is finished Good luck with that GTO, that sounds bad@ss.

I'm running E-85 here in my daily driver here in Central Texas i, did I say that it smells good and has lowered my coolant temps 4-5 degrees on average. Good stuff. Yeah a stainless tank would be a good thing, but I'm not scared

I think Ted from Epitome (Moderator of the Diecast section here) had one for sale some time ago. Try contacting him.

I think his had an Aeromotive fuel pump submerged in it to kill the noise.

Don,
Put a fuel cell in the trunk for e-85. You can also buy a pick up that welds on the factory tank. I bought a new tank for my car but I know its not stainless.
