The proalloy ones look the bollox but to be fair they look a bit more race ready than what i need. I have seen them with just an alloy filler neck and a sort of cup thing round the top of the filler neck. I might give lee a buzz once i'm ready to fit the tank and fuel system to the preped shell

What you building ?

Remember competition cars will need a bulkhead between the tank and the cockpit to pass scruitineering. This may be extended to trackday cars in the future

Make sure the tank has either an internal swirl pot or a lower point (sump) for the pick up pipe to sit in to avoid fuel surge.

Any submersible modern fuel pump should e able to supply enough fuel for an injection system. This keeps noise and costs down

Its going to be a trackday toy stroke weekend exotica basher lol.

Basically a uncomfortable stripped fun plaything (like a teesside lass lol)

If you know or could recomend me a system or what i should be looking at it would be greatly appreciated as i'm far from an expert when it comes to motorsport parts such as these tanks and fuel systems.

If you could pm me instead of replying to this it would be great cause i'd have it filed away for future reference cheers
