Also seen the process west one on the chassis rail (though it looks like a small capacity) Edit: 1.85L in capacity seems ok. I was intending on just using the stock pump to pump into the tank and then a 044 to the engine. I wont be seeing the drag strip or circut and will probably never hold it at WOT for a long period of time. But I want to fit a tank to be safe. Any other ideas on placement of the tank? Will an installation like this require the fitment of a one way valve to retain fuel line pressure? Edited 09/02/08 04:59 AM by hanra

Seems a few guys here have just removed the ute liner, then drilled out some spot welds and removed a panel to gain access to the top of the tank. Theres plently of tanks on Ebay for bugger all which im sure I can get to fit/mount.

I think ill mount it where others have, in between the liner and rear skin. Edited 10/02/08 10:54 AM by hanra
